This article presents a case of 42-year-old woman with the iatrogenic transtemporal meningoencephalic herniation. The patient was treated surgically because of chronic otitis media without an expected improvement. Despite new signs and symptoms that appeared after the surgery, no radiological assessment was performed and for another years a wrong treatment was conducted. The authors present diagnostic problems and surgical treatment of meningoencephalic herniation of the temporal bone.
