Abstract Complications of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) are still prevalent in developing countries, with some of the patients presenting with rare complications. CSOM can affect the external auditory canal (EAC) in different ways, and the most common affectation is EAC stenosis or atresia. Manifesting with necrotizing fasciitis of the EAC is extremely rare. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature, and none was from otitis media. In this article, we reported a rare case of necrotizing fasciitis of the EAC from CSOM in a malnourished child.
