    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Malignant external otitis (MEO) is a serious Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.
    • It primarily affects elderly patients with diabetes mellitus.
    • The infection progresses from the external auditory canal, invading surrounding structures.

    Observation:

    • The case presented highlights the typical demographic and progression of MEO.
    • Invasion of cartilage, bone, cranial nerves, and soft tissues is characteristic.
    • The severity necessitates prompt and thorough intervention.

    Findings:

    • Aggressive medical management combined with surgical debridement is the cornerstone of treatment.
    • This combined approach has demonstrated curative potential in reported cases.
