Abstract

Zygomatic abscess is a rare complication of otitis media. It is often misdiagnosed or diagnosed late leading to delay in definitive management. Here, we report a case of 45 years old male who presented with left otorrhoea and swelling in left temporal region and was diagnosed as a case of left chronic otitis media with left zygomatic abscess.
