Description

External diffuse bacterial otitis media is an infection affecting the outer ear canal. The visualization highlights the inflamed, swollen ear canal, which may be red and filled with pus, often resulting in pain, itching, and possible discharge. This image is beneficial for ENT specialists, medical students, and healthcare providers to understand the typical presentation of this condition. It clearly shows how the infection spreads diffusely across the ear canal, helping in the diagnosis and management of otitis externa, particularly in identifying the extent of the infection.
