Abstract
Fungal otomastoiditis is a rare condition and is usually associated with host immunodeficiency. It is difficult to diagnose, and many cases are fatal. Treatment consists of surgical debridement, attempts to control the underlying immunological condition and antifungal chemotherapy. Individual case reports in immunocompetent patients have been published previously. We report a case series of seven with fungal otomastoiditis, all in immunocompetent patients.
