_Since the problem of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is quite acute, recently there has been a tendency to change the classical ideas about the complications of CSOM with the widespread use of atticoantrumectomy._

**Introduction**. In the 70-90s of the 20th century, the Atticoantral (antrum) region was included by individual clinicians in the middle anatomical regions of the ear. However, after the introduction of antrum-antrumcommissurotomy into practice, and according to some authors, the cure rate increased by almost half. This assumption indicated a discrepancy between the canonical anatomy of the middle ear and the real possibilities of its diagnosis and treatment. It became obvious that the antrum is an independent hollow organ located anterior to the external auditory canal, which is a topographic and functional continuation
