摘要：

Malignant otitis externa (MOE) is a relatively rare complication of Otitis externa with a tendency to spread to other parts of temporal bone and skull base. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common pathological agent. It generally occurs in the elderly with poorly controlled diabetes. In this report we present a case of MOE with atypical initial presentation causing immense conundrum in deciphering the diagnosis early.
