It can arrive to skull base and originate intracranial complications. The most frequent pathogenic agent is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Authors described two cases of external malignant otitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus, explaining clinical features, progression, diagnostic and therapeutic approach, prognosis of this disease. A comparison between Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus malignant otitis was described, associated with a literature analysis.
