International Conference on

Otolaryngology: ENT Surgery

Dental Health and Oral Hygiene

Joint Event

ecrotizing Otitis Externa (NOE) is an infection of the

external auditory canal leading to an Osteomyelitis of the

bone and surrounding soft tissue and to multiple abscess and

cranial nerve palsies. The frequency of this life-threatening

disease is increasing, and a shifting incidence has been

noted with more sterile culture and fungal cases. Aspergillus

serology and PCR are actually important tools in the diagnosis

of this condition and many therapeutic procedures have been

used and combined: antibiotics, antifungals, local treatment,

hyperbaric oxygen therapy and surgery.

In this session, we will summarize and discuss the most

relevant clinical and therapeutic features of NOE on the basis

of the most recent data in literature.
