Skull base osteomyelitis. Malignant external otitis

Abstract

Aggressive medical therapy is warranted to prevent morbidity and mortality that has long been associated with skull base osteomyelitis. Outcomes are now improved because of a better understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease process, improved diagnostic tests, and more effective antipseudomonal therapy.
