Abstract:

The complications of acute otitis media have decreased since the advent of antibiotic therapy, however, as physicians we must be familiar with them due to their potential severity and because acute otitis media continues to be one of the most frequent pathologies in childhood. Zygomatic abscesses are extremely rare; their presentation can easily be confused with other pathologies such as external otitis, which will lead to a delay in diagnosis and treatment, and an increase in morbidity. We present a clinical case with an interesting differential diagnosis that reminds us of the importance of knowing these types of unusual complications.
