À propos de ce contenu audio
Lateral Skull Base Osteomyelitis (SBO) is a severe, progressive infection of the cranial bones that typically arises from uncontrolled external ear infections. This condition is increasingly prevalent in India, largely driven by an epidemic of unmanaged diabetes and associated physiological factors like impaired immunity and vascular damage. Diagnosis relies on identifying a clinical triad of persistent ear pain, refractory infection, and cranial nerve palsies. Comprehensive medical workups must include laboratory markers like ESR and CRP, as well as microbiological cultures to identify pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Advanced imaging via HRCT and MRI is essential for staging the disease and assessing bone destruction versus soft tissue involvement. Ultimately, nuclear medicine plays a vital role in monitoring treatment success and determining when it is safe to discontinue therapy.
