His medical history included a cranioplasty with a titanium mesh for repairing a skull fracture after head trauma and two episodes of meningitis with hospitalization. Physical examination revealed ear deformity and a pulsatile mass. Imaging studies confirmed a large tegmen tympani defect with meningocele and brain contusion. A transmastoid approach was used to repair the defect and address the CSF leak. Postoperatively, the patient's symptoms resolved, and hearing improved with no complications noted during follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This article highlights the complexity and challenges involved in managing such a case, given the accompanying complications and symptoms; and the effectiveness of a well-planned surgical approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Prompt diagnosis of CSF otorrhea is crucial.
