Malignant otitis externa is an invasive infection of the external auditory canal and temporal bone with potentially life-threatening complications. Elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are the population most commonly affected by malignant otitis externa, but any type of immunosuppression predisposes to the disease. Prader–Willi syndrome is a genetic cause of obesity, often associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. This report describes a case of a 21-year-old male patient with Prader–Willi syndrome who had malignant otitis externa that progressed to sepsis during hospitalization. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first description of malignant otitis externa in a young patient with Prader–Willi syndrome.
