Abstract

A 12 year old female patient, who had attico antral type of ear disease on right side, was brought to tertiary care centre for the management of fever, vomiting and headache. Patient had unilateral attico antral type of ear disease with bilateral intracranial complication. Along with the right attico antral type of ear disease and right lateral sinus thrombosis, patient had brain abscess in the left occipital lobe. Brain abscess was drained first and later mastoidectomy was done to eradicate the source of infection and to prevent further complications due to ear disease. Patient recovered well and patient was free from any problem during follow up period of 6 months. Bilateral intra cranial complications occurring simultaneously in a patient with a unilateral attico antral type of ear disease is not reported in the literature.
