Luc’s abscess: The zygomatic route of infection from cholesteatoma

ABSTRACT

@#Luc’s abscess is an uncommon complication of otitis media wherein a subperiosteal abscess develops into the temporalis muscle and follows the route of a pneumatized zygoma.1 In uncomplicated cases, surgical drainage and antibiotics are adequate management with mastoidectomy reserved for severe or complicated cases. We report a case of complicated Luc’s abscess presenting with many complications that required multiple surgical interventions.
