In anatomy, a mastoidal bone or mastoidal region refers to the area behind the ear or the temple. The term is also used in medicine to describe a condition or disease affecting this area, such as mastoiditis, an infection of the mastoid air cells. In a broader sense, mastoidal can also refer to any structure or feature resembling the mastoid process or located in a similar position.
Mastoidea is a term used in paleontology to describe a group of prehistoric mammals that lived during the Mesozoic Era, especially during the Cretaceous Period. These mammals were characterized by their unique skull shape, which featured a combination of primitive and advanced features, and were adapted for a herbivorous diet. The mastoids were distinct from the earlier cynodonts and from the later primates, and were thought to be the ancestors of the present-day mammals, including humans.
Mastoiditis is an infection of the mastoid process, which is a bony structure behind the ear. It is typically caused by a bacterial infection, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, and can occur as a complication of a middle ear infection (otitis media) or mastoiditis. Symptoms include pain and tenderness behind the ear, swelling, redness, and a sensation of pressure or fullness in the ear.
Mastoidotomy is a type of surgical procedure in which a small opening is made in the mastoid bone behind the ear to drain the mastoid air cells, which are filled with pus in the case of a Mastoiditis. This procedure is usually done to treat chronic otitis media, chronic mastoiditis, and sinusitis.
