ABSTRACT

Luc's abscess is a purulent collection below the temporal muscle. We report the case of a of 31-year-old male patient with history of untreated chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma, which developed as a complication an abscess medial to the temporal muscle and an abscess of the temporal lobe. We discuss the possible pathophysiology for the development of this abscess, our management as well as treatment options.
