Does Anyone Know About, Mastoiditis?

Ive Recently Had A CT Scan Done On The Temporal Bones Of My Head... The Conclusion Was:

Nonspecific Opacification of the middle ear cavities, paticularly involving the attics.
There is also opacification of the mastoid aircells.
features would be compatible with bilateral otitis media and mastoiditis. it is not possible to exclude other pathology such as cholesteatoma.

Can Anyone Help Me OnThis?? I Cant Seem To Find Anything About It Elsewhere.. :-(

Mastoiditis is an infection of the mastoid bone of the skull.

Otitis media (also known as glue ear) is an inflammation of the middle ear segment of the ear. It is usually associated with a buildup of fluid and frequently causes an earache. The fluid may or may not be infected.

A cholesteatoma is a skin growth that occurs in an abnormal location, the middle ear behind the eardrum. It is usually due to repeated infection, which causes an ingrowth of the skin of the eardrum.

These links give much more information. I hope this helps.

your mastoids are sinuses that sit behind your ears-you have an infection of them-mastoiditis-and an ear infection in both ears-that can probably be cleared up w/ an antibiotic
