Chronic otitis media is still a problem in developing countries but its complications are rare, because of the use of antibiotics. In this report, we will discuss a rare case of a patient who developed bilateral complications at the same time and underwent emergency surgery. 60 years old female patient has been suffering from ear discharge for many years and she has used a lot drug and drop but it never has gone away. The patient applied to our clinic with one-sided facial paralysis and extreme pain on the other side. Complications may occur in untreated chronic otitis media, but it is very rare for them to be seen simultaneously on both sides. This situation is very rare and it is deserved discussion. Therefore, in this paper, we want to discuss complications and treatment of chronic otitis media. There is a little research in the literature about bilateral complications of otitis media. For this reason, we want people to be awake about it.
