Bezold's abscess: An extremely rare complication of suppurative mastoiditis: Case report and literature review.

Introduction: Bezold abscess is a suppurative complication of mastoiditis that the incidence has significantly decreased in the current era due to the introduction of antibiotics.

Presentation Of Case: We discuss the case of a 62-year-old male who developed Bezold abscess following a right mastoiditis. He presented with laterocervical swelling. His management included; incision and drainage of the abscesses; and mastoidectomy.

Conclusion: The incidence of Bezold abscess appears to be increasing, perhaps due to ignorance of the disease by many clinicians, and diagnosis is often delayed with potentially fatal consequences.
