Skull base osteomyelitis can involve the jugular foramen and its associated cranial nerves resulting in specific clinical syndromes. The
Collet-Sicard syndrome
describes the clinical manifestations of palsies involving cranial nerves IX, X, XI, and XII. We present a rare atypical case of skull base osteomyelitis originating from infection of the middle ear and causing the
Collet-Sicard syndrome
. Caused by
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
and
Klebsiella
pneumoniae
, this occurred in an elderly diabetic man subsequent to retention of a cotton swab in an ear with chronic suppurative otitis media. This case report illustrates the possibility of retained cotton swabs contributing to the development of otitis media, skull base osteomyelitis, and ultimately the
Collet-Sicard syndrome
in the ears of immune-compromised patients with chronically perforated eardrums.
