Managing otorhinolaryngologic emergencies in diabetic patients requires a tailored clinical approach due to their increased susceptibility to infections and delayed wound healing. Prompt evaluation and treatment are crucial to prevent complications such as severe otitis externa, sinusitis, or deep neck infections. Close monitoring of blood glucose levels, adequate hydration, and early initiation of antibiotics are essential. Surgical interventions, when necessary, should be performed with caution to minimize the risk of infection and optimize wound healing outcomes. Additionally, educating diabetic patients about the importance of regular ENT evaluations and maintaining good glycemic control can help prevent emergent situations in the future.
