Malignant otitis externa (MOE) is an infrequent but severe invasive infection of the external auditory canal generally caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which mostly affects elderly diabetic patients. Progression of the disease may lead to osteomyelitis of the skull base resulting in potentially fatal intracranial complications.
