Abstract:
Tuberculosis of the middle ear is a disease rarely encountered in recent years. Because what used to be the typical clinical signs of this disease have been changed in recent years and the index of suspicion being low, there is frequently a considerable delay prior to diagnosis. This can lead to irreversible complications. A case of tuberculous otitis media complicated with lateral sinus thrombosis and subperiosteal abscess is reported with review of the literature, emphasizing the fact that this entity must be considered in the differential diagnosis of persistent suppurative otitis media.
