We report a case of chronic suppurative otitis media squamous disease following temporal bone fracture. Patient had road traffic accident and longitudinal fracture with facial palsy four years back with recent onset ear discharge. Upon further evaluation, patient was found to have attic cholesteatoma which was managed with canal wall down mastoidectomy and type IV tympanoplasty. We would like to recommend a longterm follow-up in all cases of temporal bone fracture even with a negative history of prior ear discharge or hard of hearing.
