Question 問題：

What is Malignant otitis externa??

什么是惡性外耳道炎？

Answer 答案：

“Skull base osteomyelitis” accurately describes the disease, as MOE starts as an infection of the external auditory canal which spreads to the temporal bone and skull base. MOE can then spread to intracranial structures。

當(dāng)惡性外耳道炎（MOE）由外耳道感染開始并擴散到顳骨和顱底骨時，顱底骨骨髓炎準(zhǔn)確地描述了這個病。然后MOE可以蔓延到顱內(nèi)結(jié)構(gòu)。
