INTRODUCTION
Malignant otitis externa is a life-threatening infection of the skull base. Its presentation is not always typical.
CASE REPORTS
We report three cases of malignant otitis externa which illustrate the diversity of its clinical manifestations and the difficulties in its diagnosis.
DISCUSSION
The perception of malignant otitis externa as an infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in diabetic patients is not always correct. The adoption of diagnostic criteria could be helpful in identifying atypical cases.
引言
恶性外耳道炎是一种危及生命的颅底感染。其表现并不总是典型的。
病例报告
我们报告三例恶性外耳道炎病例，这些病例说明了其临床表现的多样性以及诊断的困难。
讨论
认为恶性外耳道炎是糖尿病患者由铜绿假单胞菌引起的感染这种观念并不总是正确的。采用诊断标准可能有助于识别非典型病例。
