Culture-directed antibiotic therapy as the first-line treatment.
For recalcitrant disease, the circumferential petrosectomy provides the capability to debride the necrotic bone and the inflammatory tissue with a low risk of morbidity.
This procedure can be tailored to the extent of the patient’s disease.

Success in the treatment of osteomyelitis elsewhere in the body
Oxidative killing by leukocytes of aerobic bacteria (P. aeruginosa)
In otogenic skull base osteomyelitis, it did not influence disease-specific survival.
