Abstract
Hemotympanum is defined as the occupation of the tympanic cavity of the middle ear by blood. It is a typical sign of skull base fractures. Cases describing secondary hemotympanum owing to epistaxis are very infrequent. Clinical follow-up is recommended until the resolution of hemotympanum.
