Introduction: Due to the widespread use of antibiotics and the facilitated diagnostic path, complications of otitis media are now a much smaller problem in the practice of otolaryngologists. However, we must remember that certain groups of patients, due to chronic concomitant diseases or a different physiological condition, may be more prone to develop such complications.
Case report: Below we present the case of a woman in the 21st week of pregnancy who, as a result of not following the recommended treatment, developed a complication of acute otitis media in the form of a Mouret abscess with progression towards the skull base, and who required surgical intervention for this reason.
