The predominant symptoms were headache (n\u2009=\u200914, 63.6%) and otologic complaints (n\u2009=\u20095, 22.7%). Surgical specimen cultures identified bacterial pathogens in 7 patients (32.0%), fungal pathogens in 9 (41.0%), and mixed bacterial\u2010fungal pathogens in 5 (23.0%). Nineteen patients (83.4%) underwent surgical debridement; earlier debridement was correlated with a shorter duration of antimicrobial therapy (\n                      <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.545,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009.016).
