Cholesteatoma, a rare and/or misdiagnosed disease, results of a serious complication in dogs with chronic otitis. This article describes a case of a dachshund sent to the veterinary hospital presenting signs of cognitive dysfunction associated to peripheral neuropathy of the facial nerve on the right side.

At tomography, this enlargement and thickness were seen with better definition, besides the fulfilling by hiperdense calcified content, bullae osteolysis and temporal bone sclerosis at the same side.
