title: [Tuberculosis of the inner ear].
abstract: Tuberculosis of the middle ear is a rare, but not a nonexistent disease. It is well reported in literature that the typical features of this disease have been changing over the years, what can lead to delay in proper diagnosis and cause irreversible complications. Presented two cases of tuberculous otitis media confirm the opinion that historically classical triad of features: painless otorrhea, multiple perforations of the tympanic membrane and concomitant peripheral facial paralysis is often absent in the clinical picture of this disease.
