摘要：Malignant otitis externa (MOE) is a life-threatening invasive infection of the external auditory canal and lateral skull base that is unusual and rapidly progressing. Toulmouche is credited with being the first to describe this ailment. It's an infection that causes damage to the ear canal bones and the skull's base. The condition is linked to significant cranial nerve involvement and a high death and morbidity rate. The facial nerve is most usually damaged.
