Abstract
Chronic otitis media although rare in developed countries is still a major problem in the developing countries. If untreated, it can lead to life-threatening intracranial complications. In the available literature the incidence and risk factors for cerebellar abscess following mastoidectomy is not known. In this case we would like to emphasize that CT scan before mastoidectomy is not possible in all the cases particularly in developing countries. There is a need to find the factors that will make one suspect the possibility of concurrent intracranial lesions and which will identify the patients prone to intracranial complications.
