ABSTRACT
Zygomatic mastoiditis is an extremely rare cause of an inflamed, swollen cheek. We encountered a 10-year-old girl with left preauricular swelling, pain, and mild trismus. Temporal bone computed tomography revealed a zygomatic root abscess with bone defects and a scanty amount of soft tissue lesion in Prussak's space. After antibiotic therapy for 2 weeks, her pain subsided, but the swelling persisted. All inflamed air cells, including the lesion in the zygomatic root, were eradicated. The swelling subsided after the surgery. The patient has not experienced any postoperative complications or shown any evidence of relapse for more than 1 year.
