A rare cause of severe earache: a tick in the external auditory canal

Although tick is rarely seen in the external auditory canal, it may cause pain and tinnitus in the ear. In addition, it is also important in terms of causing Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever disease. In this report, we presented the treatment of a 60-year-old patient who was admitted to the Emergency Service with pain in the left ear and who had a tick in the external auditory canal together with literature data. Removing he tick from the external ear canal with the alligator forceps in a careful manner is important in terms of preventing many diseases that might occur due to the tick.
