title: [Cerebral abscess as a complication of the chronic otitis].
abstract: Otogenic intracranial complications are now rare. Meningitis is the most frequent, followed by cerebral abscess. In spite of diagnostic and therapeutic advances, cerebral abscess has a high mortality. We report four cases seen in our service over the last five years and their treatment. The subject is reviewed.
