 Intracranial abscess and sinus thrombosis are rare complications of otitis media and occur unilaterally in many cases. In this report, we present a case of bilateral epidural abscesses and sinus thrombosis caused by acute exacerbation of chronic otitis media.

 The patient was a 45-year-old man with a history of long-term administration of steroids for thrombocytopenia purpura. Although it was believed that the bilateral intracranial complications could be fatal, due to the prompt mastoidectomy and antibiotic treatment, his inflammation improved without any serious sequelae.

 In immunosuppressed patients, as in this case, prompt and appropriate diagnosis is considered more necessary when intracranial complications occur.
