The objective of the present study was to elucidate the specific features of the clinical course of malignant externa otitis in the context of the present-day concepts. A total of 5 patients presenting with the confirmed diagnosis of malignant external otitis were available for the examination. The analysis of the clinical observations provided the basis for the characteristic of pathogenesis of this condition, diagnostic principles, and treatment modalities for the management of the pathology in question. It is concluded that the patients suffering from malignant externa otitis must remain under medical care and observation during a long period and the strategy for the treatment of each concrete patient should be chosen on an individual basis taking into consideration the presence of concomitant pathologies and their adequate therapy.
