Abstract
Malignant Otitis Externa, though a misnomer, definitely alarms the surgeon, the idea that it behaves and spreads like a malignancy, in elderly diabetics, and if not treated deligently, can be fatal. Though the main line of treatment is medical, surgical intervention should not be deferred if indicated. We are presenting one such case where we have not only saved the patient's life but also controlled the pain adequately.
