Tuberculosis of middle ear is a comparatively rare entity seen in association with or secondary to pulmonary tuberculosis. Primary tuberculous otitis media is a rare disease and constitutes 0.05% to 0.09% of chronic otitis media. The diagnosis of tuberculous mastioditis is difficult due to wide range of symptoms & usually fails to respond to usual antibiotics. Otological investigations showed destruction of mastoid air cells with bony sequestrum, then mastoiditis should be suspected .Anti tubercular drugs are the main stay of treatment. Surgery aims to provide samples required for bacteriological and histological examinations allowing subsequent diagnosis. Here we represent a case report of 13 year old girl of tuberculous mastoiditis with meningitis.
