Introduction: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is marked by ear discharge (otorrhea) that lasts for more than six to eight weeks, middle ear inflammation that doesn't go away, and a ruptured eardrum. The purpose of this study is to describe examples of CSOM with facial nerve paresis and how such cases are managed. Case presentation: A thirty-year-old man complained to the Mataram Community Health Center two days before admission that his mouth was turning to the left, despite the fact that he was still able to speak well. Additionally, for four months, the patient complained of a constant discharge from the right ear. The fluid that emerges from the ear is sticky, yellow, and odorous; blood is not mixed with it. Upon inspection, a cholesteatoma and a flat-edge attic perforation on the tympanic membrane were discovered, together with a purulent and odorous discharge in the ear canal of the right ear. After a facial nerve examination, it was discovered that the forehead wrinkles were uneven and that the face was asymmetrical, with the right eyebrow unable to be raised. The patient was identified as having peripheral facial nerve paresis and persistent suppurative malignant otitis media of the auricula dextra. The patient is being treated with irrigation of the ear canal with 0.9% NaCl, cleaning of the cholesteatoma, and antibiotic administration: two drops of ofloxacin ear drops given twice a day, three times a day ciprofloxacin tablets 500 mg, three times a day methylprednisolone 16 mg, and advice to undergo a mastoidectomy. Conclusion: Complications including hearing loss, facial nerve palsy, subperiosteal abscess, petrositis, meningitis, cerebral abscess, and labyrinthine fistula are indicated for mastectomy surgical therapy.
