Mycobacterium abscessus is a rare, but increasingly frequent cause of petrositis and otomastoiditis. Over the last 40 years, the therapeutic focus of petrositis has shifted from surgical to medical modalities; however, M. abscessus infections provide a distinct challenge to the medical management of petrositis due to the species’ predilection for extensive drug resistance. We describe a case in which petrositis due to M. abscessus is effectively managed in a patient with significant comorbidities through conservative medical therapy.
