mastoiditis - inflammation of mastoid air cells behind ear Definition for mastoiditis Mastoiditis is an infection of the mastoid process, the portion of the temporal bone of the skull that is behind the ear. more Mastoiditis is an infection of the mastoid process, the portion of the temporal bone of the skull that is behind the ear. It is usually caused by untreated acute otitis media (middle ear infection) and used to be a leading cause of child mortality. With the development of antibiotics, however, mastoiditis has become quite rare in developed countries, most likely due to antibiotic treatment of otitis media before it can spread. It is treated with medications and/or surgery. If untreated, the infection can spread to surrounding structures, including the brain, causing serious complications. less some common symptoms ear discharge earache hearing loss irritability some related diagnoses 1 - 7 of 35 diagnoses otitis media perforated ear drum otitis externa ear trauma foreign body ear malignant external otitis meningitis   more do i have 'mastoiditis'?
