    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Diabetology

    Background:

    • Malignant otitis externa (MOE) is a severe necrotizing infection of the external auditory canal, often seen in elderly diabetics.
    • Increasing incidence of MOE is linked to better survival rates in diabetic patients.
    • Early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment are crucial for managing MOE.

    Observation:

    • A case of malignant otitis externa successfully treated with a regimen including Tobramycin and mastoid surgery is presented.
    • The case highlights the importance of a multi-faceted treatment approach.

    Findings:

    • Combined general and local treatment, featuring the antibiotic Tobramycin, led to a cure.
    • Timely surgical intervention, specifically mastoid surgery, was a key component of the successful treatment.

  • Literature review indicates an increasing incidence and improved prognosis for MOE.

    • Implications:

    • The advent of specific antibiotics like Tobramycin has significantly improved MOE treatment efficacy.
    • Early medical and surgical interventions enhance the prognosis for malignant otitis externa.
    • Continued research and awareness are vital for managing this challenging infection.
