Abstrakt:	Bezold's abscess (BA) is a severe and rare extracranial complication of suppurative acute mastoiditis. The diagnosis of BA requires a high index of suspicion due to its rarity. In this study, we present a rare case of BA, in addition to a review of literature over 20 years. We searched for all cases in English literature from 2000 to 2020 in PubMed and found 27 cases (28 cases including the current case). BA was more prevalent in males (17/28, 60.7%) and adults (17/28, 60.7%). Of the 28 cases, six were associated with cholesteatoma and another six cases occurred with concomitant sinus thrombosis.
