title: [Otogenic brain abscess and middle ear cancer].
abstract: An uncommon case is reported in which both a brain abscess and a carcinoma of the middle ear were diagnosed at the same time. Before the histology was known, a cholesteatoma was thought to be the cause of the brain abscess. The difficulties in the differential diagnosis are discussed.
