The radiological findings of the temporal bone in patients with CSOM evaluate the extent and sites of involvement of the middle ear and mastoid air cell system and study the inter relationships of the tympanomastoid compartment with the adjacent, critical and important neurovascular structures.

CORRELATION OF RADIOLOGICAL AND OPERATIVE FINDING REGARDING THE CELLULARITY OF MASTOID IN CHRONIC SUPPURATIVE OTITIS MEDIA (ATTICOANTRAL DISEASE)

The mastoid air cell system represents a more or less extensive system of interconnecting air filled cavities arising from the walls of the mastoid antrum and walls of the middle ear.

Pneumatization of mastoid air cells: role of acquired factors / Neumatizacion de las celulas mastoideas: rol de factores adquiridos

Opponents of mastoidectomy argue that the mastoid air cell system is thought to function, at least in part, as a buffer to the changes in pressure within the middle ear.

Role of cortical mastoidectomy in outcome of myringoplasty in active and quiscent stage of tubotympanic type of chronic suppurative otitis media

Computed tomography (CT) of the temporal bone showed destruction of the inferior wall of the right EAC by a lesion with a soft-tissue density, but the aeration of the mastoid air cell and the middle ear space was normal.

Extensive external auditory canal cholesteatoma in the infratemporal area without mastoid involvement: use of a new surgical technique

INTRODUCTION: The mastoid air cell system forms an important contribution to the middle ear ventilation and acts as a surgitank of air.

A comparative study of plain x-ray mastoids with HRCT temporal bone in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media

Canaloplasty is sufficient for small lesions that do not involve the mastoid air cell. Skin grafting is beneficial when there is a large defect.

The development of the mastoid air cell system begins in utero.

Asymmetric agenesis of the mastoid antrum in a neonate

A computed tomography (CT) scan of the head showed thickening of the ear skin; focal tympanal bone osteolysis; partial right mastoid air cells and middleear cavity opacification; and osteolysis of the occipital, styloid, and mastoid bones consistent with MOE (Appendix Figure, https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/EID/article/25/4/18-0710App1.pdf).

Malignant Aspergillus flavus Otitis Externa with Jugular Thrombosis

In radical mastoidectomy, the tympanic membrane, the ossicular chain, the posterior wall of the external auditory canal, and the mastoid air cells were surgically drilled out, leaving an enlarged cavity open to the external canal.

There was right mastoid air cells opacification and partial opacification of the left sphenoid sinus.

Metastatic sinonasal and right orbital adenocarcinoma secondary to right breast lesion

Computed tomography of the temporal bone revealed a right-sided, 2 x 2-cm soft-tissue mass in the EAC, with erosion of mastoid air cells but a normal eardrum and middle ear cavity.
