Skull base osteomyelitis is an inflammatory process that usually occurs secondary to necrotizing otitis externa or chronic mastoid infections. The involvement of the external auditory canal is typical of this condition and aids in its diagnosis. The treatment of skull base osteomyelitis is often complex and involves long-term intravenous antibiotics. Skull base osteomyelitis originating from the middle ear is a rare entity. We report a case of skull base osteomyelitis originating from the bilateral otitis media.
颅底骨髓炎是一种炎症过程，通常继发于坏死性外耳道炎或慢性乳突感染。外耳道受累是这种疾病的典型表现，有助于其诊断。颅底骨髓炎的治疗通常很复杂，需要长期静脉使用抗生素。源自中耳的颅底骨髓炎是一种罕见的情况。我们报告一例源自双侧中耳炎的颅底骨髓炎病例。
