We present a case of an 80-year-old male who developed skull base osteomyelitis after nasopharyngeal cyst removal. A review of the literature regarding complications after nasopharyngeal cyst removal was performed. We describe the difficulty of diagnosing an osteomyelitis infection and the best approach to recognizing osteomyelitis before complications worsen.
