However, atypical sbo affects the sphenoid and occipital bones (particularly the clivus). Diagnosis of malignant external otitis was established in 23 patients. To determine whether cranial nerve involvement in malignant external otitis affects or predicts the clinical outcome in terms of morbidity and mortality. The management of these cases should be prompt and aggressive and specifically address each of the debilitating complications.

The presence of cranial nerve palsy is a sign of advanced disease and can have a high mortality rate (up to 80%). Also, the recurrence of necrotizing infection affects the severity of neurological presentation. malignant external otitis (meo) is an infection that affects the external auditory canal and temporal bone. malignant otitis externa may present with cranial nerve involvements and massive spread of disease mimicking nasopharyngeal carcinoma or any other malignancies on imaging. The causative organism is usually pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the disease commonly manifests in elderly patients with diabetes. malignant external otitis is an uncommon, potentially lethal infection of the temporal bone primarily affecting elderly diabetic patients. The contralateral cranial nerve palsy was managed conservatively with partial recovery of function.
It is more commonly seen in necrotizing otitis externa (noe) with skull base osteomyelitis, especially if comorbidities are present.

Prognosis is adversely affected by comorbid conditions, which are common in patients who develop malignant otitis externa. Disproportional pain with fever may indicate malignant otitis externa, however otitis externa is known to be extremely painful so this is a relatively soft differentiating sign and should be used alongside the full.
