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
