Abstract
Temporal lobe abscess is a rare, life threatening complication of
inflammation of the middle ear. Signs of intracranial tension or
focal neurological deficits at the time of presentation in patients with
chronic or acute otitis media should raise concerns for temporal lobe
abscess. Immediate surgical intervention along with antibiotics
is necessary for good outcome.
