Description

This 3D model shows malignant external otitis media (also known as necrotizing otitis externa) on the right side, depicting the severe infection of the external ear canal. The visualization highlights the inflammation, tissue necrosis, and potential spread of the infection to surrounding structures, often seen in immunocompromised individuals. The model emphasizes the severity of this condition, which can lead to complications such as facial nerve involvement or systemic infection if not treated promptly. This image is beneficial for ENT specialists and healthcare providers to understand the progression of malignant otitis externa and the critical need for aggressive treatment.
