What Researchers Did
The authors presented a case of a 76-year-old male with recurrent bilateral malignant otitis externa (MOE) and skull-base osteomyelitis.
What They Found
A 76-year-old male initially presented with right-sided recurrent malignant otitis externa and skull-base osteomyelitis, which was treated with aggressive antimicrobial therapy and multiple hyperbaric oxygen treatments. After resolution, he developed new left-sided MOE and skull-base involvement, which also resolved with repeat treatment, leading to a cure of the infection.
