The study was conducted in the department Otorhinolaryngology, Head & Neck surgery, DHQ teaching hospital Bannu, KPK-Pakistan form August 2014 to April 2015. One hundred successive patients were nominated whose clinical judgment was CSOM Attico-antral type. The most common extracranial complication in our study was ossicular erosion seen in 84% cases followed by facial nerve canal erosion seen in 12% cases. Mastoid abscess was seen in two cases, exposed sigmoid sinus in three cases and erosion of lateral semicircular canal in one case. The intracranial complications seen were meningitis and temporal lobe abscess in one case each. The high frequency in our study may be explained by the fact that IDPs are sitting in a rural area with very poor socio-economic background and unhygienic environment.
