Central Skull Base Osteomyelitis in Queensland, Australia, 2010–2020
Four key observations emerged in this series: (1) advanced age and diabetes mellitus are common risk factors for CSBO, (2) limited surgical intervention occurred, (3) microbiological diagnoses relied primarily on superficial sampling, and (4) significant mortality and morbidity was observed. Prospective studies are needed to better understand the optimal approach to the diagnosis and management of CSBO and to improve clinical outcomes.
