Objectives: 1) to describe clinical and otoscopic characteristics of otorqycosis. 2) To determine the fungal isolated species and treatment experiences. Materials and methods: retro and prospective descriptive study. 63 patients who were diagnosed otomycosis by direct microscopic examination had specimen for microbiologic laboratory. All patients were received the treatment including fungal debris cleaning and antifungal drugs. Results: clinical symptoms includes itching, hypoacusis (71,7 percent); 58/63 cases in which, the otoscopy had true positive (92 percent). Otoscopy images showed the direct fungal or many white debris in the external ear canal. The most frequently isolated species were Aspegilus (n=33; 49.2 percent) and Candida (n=27; 42.9 percent). All patients were treated succes:i.fully with the mean time of 7 days (4 to 20 days). Conclusion: otoscopic examination is an effective method to diagnose the otomycosis. The most common fungal in the study are Aspegilus and Candida. Treatment including local debris cleaning and antifungal drugs has satisfied results.
