Intracranial complications of otitis media are associated with high mortality. Persistent otalgia or otorrhea while on oral antibiotics with associated neurological symptoms are ominous signs suggestive of a complication. A high index of suspicion and early diagnosis with radioimaging are essential for better outcome in these patients. We report a neglected case of chronic otitis media and discuss the magnetic resonance imaging findings.
