Evaluation of the clinical and radiological features of patients with Malignant otitis externa (MOE)
Based on our findings, although MOE most commonly occurs in poorly-controlled diabetic or immunocompromised patients, it can also occur in individuals without known conditions. Furthermore, increasing the age and severity of DM could lead to more complications. In terms of medical therapy, coverage of gram-positive bacteria and an antipseudomonal regimen would be an effective treatment.
