Post-traumatic cholesteatoma causing a brain abscess presenting 29 years after head injury

Although sensorineural and conductive hearing loss, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and facial paralysis are common acute effects associated with trauma to the temporal bone, late sequelae should also merit attention, such as the development of middle ear cholesteatoma. It may then lead to intracranial complications such as brain abscess, sinus- thrombosis, and meningitis. We would like to report on a case of brain abscess secondary to middle ear cholesteatoma, presenting 29 years after gunshot- related head injury.
