    Malignant external otitis (MEO), a rare condition, can affect diabetic adolescents. Prompt diagnosis and intravenous anti-Pseudomonas treatment are key for successful outcomes in pediatric MEO cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Otolaryngology
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Malignant external otitis (MEO) is a rare, severe infection of the external auditory canal.
    • Diabetes mellitus is a significant risk factor, potentially leading to aggressive infections.

    Observation:

    • A case of a diabetic adolescent presenting with intractable ear pain unresponsive to standard oral therapies.
    • Clinical presentation suggested a diagnosis beyond simple otitis externa.

    Findings:

    • The patient was diagnosed with Malignant External Otitis (MEO).
    • Successful treatment involved intravenous anti-Pseudomonas antibiotics.
    • The study reviews pediatric MEO cases, diagnostic criteria, treatment duration, and prognosis.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering MEO in diabetic patients with persistent ear pain.
    • Emphasizes the need for prompt and aggressive management with appropriate antibiotics.
    • Provides a clinical review for healthcare providers managing pediatric MEO.
