Introduction: Auto-mastoidectomy is a rare complication that can develop after chronic middle ear infection and can be seen in cases where no response to classical infection treatment is obtained.
Case Report: A 55-year-old male patient applied to the emergency department for a left ear pain complaint. In his examination, he was conscious, but orientation and cooperation were not complete. The brain CT showed a mastoidectomy cavity on the left, but he had never been operated on.
Conclusion: The destruction of bones and tissues may cause the current condition in the brain. This case report examines a case of auto-mastoidectomy, which can be diagnosed when the brain abscess develops.
