3. INTRODUCTION
Mastoiditis is a bacterial infection of the mastoid
air cells surrounding the inner and middle ear. The
mastoid bone, which is full of these air cells, is
part of the temporal bone of the skull. The
mastoid air cells are thought to protect the
delicate structures of the ear, regulate ear
pressure and possibly protect the temporal bone
during trauma. When the mastoid cells become
infected or inflamed, often as a result of an
unresolved middle ear infection (otitis media),
mastoiditis can develop.

4. Mastoiditis is a bacterial infection of the
mastoid air cells surrounding the inner and
middle ear. The mastoid bone.
According to levis
mastoiditis includes all inflammatory
processes of the mastoid air cells of the
temporal bone.

7. OTITIS MEDIA
is the result of infection, it can spread
to the mastoid bone, or the bone that
sits behind the ear. This bone consists
of air spaces that help drain the middle
ear. When the mastoid cells become
infected or inflamed, mastoiditis
develops.

8. CHRONIC SUPPURATIVE OTITIS MEDIA
(CSOM)
is a common cause of hearing impairment
and disability. chronic suppurative otitis media
(CSOM) is a chronic inflammation of the
middle ear and mastoid cavity. Occasionally it
can lead to fatal intracranial infections
Swelling caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, the
abscess can disrupt the blood and oxygen
supply to the brain. Lead acute mastoiditis,

9. CHOLESTEATOM
Mastoiditis can develop if the mastoid cells
become infected or inflamed, often
following a persistent middle ear infection
(otitis media). Cholesteatoma can also
cause mastoiditis. This is an abnormal
collection of skin cells inside the ear which
may prevent the ear draining properly,
leading to infection.

treated with antibiotics. A weak immune system.
An abnormal skin growth in the middle ear
known as cholesteatoma.
