title: [Hyperbaric oxygenation--a sensible adjunctive therapy in malignant external otitis].
abstract: This study shows the effect of hyperbaric oxygenation as an adjunctive therapy in malignant external otitis on the basis of three cases: one stage I, one stage II, two stages III (according to Ganz). Due to the successes achieved, and basing on a comparative study of the literature, we can conclude, even without a control group, that hyperbaric oxygenation exercises a positive influence on the reduction of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the external auditory canal, and on the symptoms of pain and regeneration of cerebral nerves injured with a broad-spectrum allergy to antibiotics, even the exclusive application of the hyperbaric oxygenation proved successful.
