| Abstrakt: | Acute mastoiditis is a common consequence of acute otitis media and may lead to intracranial complications. Common clinical presentations include otological complaints (i.e., otorrhea, otalgia, fever). Intracranial complication remains a rare manifestation of middle ear infection. We present the case of a child who presented with non-specific symptoms without any otological complaints. Prompt clinical assessment and imaging revealed an otogenic brain abscess with concurrent mastoiditis. Management of this child required both medical and surgical treatment by a multidisciplinary team. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
