       A 31-year-old female patient with bilateral tuberculous otitis media, which was improved by anti-tuberculous chemotherapy and bilateral ear surgery, is reported. In spite of antibiotics and steroid medication, she exhibited large perforations of both ear drums within four months.
      Tuberculous otitis media had been considered a rare disease, but its incidence has increased in recent years. Suspecting this disease may be an important factor in making an early diagnosis.

Key words : tuberuculous otitis media, early diagnosis
