    Abstract:
    A young man with otitis media and cholesteatoma of the left ear developed secondary cerebral abscess. The clinical debut was non-specific, with headache, mild fever, and mild persistent otalgia in spite of early antibiotic treatment. Studies revealed a cerebral abscess, so ENT surgery in collaboration with the neurosurgery department was decided. This case illustrates that clinical manifestations in such cases can be mild and highlights the need to exclude this type of serious pathology.
