Opacification of the middle ear and mastoid represents a spectrum of inflammatory, neoplastic, vascular, fibro-osseous, and traumatic changes. This article reviews the most important clinical and pathological characteristics, emphasizing CT and MRI findings.

In summary, opacification of mastoid air cells on CT imaging is a non-specific finding seen in a range of otologic conditions from the common; OE, OM and in the rare; acute mastoiditis. Furthermore, there are a number of cases where this is a completely incidental finding.
ICD-10 code H92 for Otalgia and effusion of ear is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the ear and mastoid process .
Otitis media with effusion or a middle ear effusion (MEE) most often represents the accumulation of transudate in response to negative pressure and/or inflammation within the middle ear space. Mastoid effusions (ME) occur in conjunction with MEE, because the 2 spaces are continuous with one another.

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.
Otitis media with effusion (OME) is a collection of non-infected fluid in the middle ear space. It is also called serous or secretory otitis media (SOM). This fluid may accumulate in the middle ear as a result of a cold, sore throat or upper respiratory infection.

The mastoid is the part of your skull located behind your ear. It's filled with air cells made of bone and looks like a honey comb. The diseased cells are often the result of an ear infection that has spread into your skull.
Mild mastoiditis occurs in almost every case of acute otitis media, which results in a middle ear effusion. 4 On the image, there will be fluid in the mastoid air cells but no evidence of destruction to the overlying bone (Figure 1).
Mastoiditis is a serious bacterial infection that affects the mastoid bone behind the ear. It's more common in children. Most people with mastoiditis recover quickly and have no complications as long as the condition is diagnosed and treated quickly.
Mastoiditis is a serious infection and should be diagnosed and treated quickly with antibiotics. You may need to go to hospital so antibiotics can be given directly into a vein through a drip (intravenously). In some cases, surgery may be needed to either: drain the middle ear (a myringotomy)
Treatment is with antibiotics, such as ceftriaxone, and mastoidectomy if drug therapy alone is not effective. , inflammation often extends into the mastoid antrum and air cells in the temporal bone, resulting in fluid accumulation.
Mastoiditis can be cured if treated with antibiotics right away. It may come back periodically (recur) in some individuals. If infection spreads, serious complication can arise including hearing loss, bone infection, blood clots, brain abscess, and meningitis.
Mastoid infection may spread into the neck causing marked swelling on the side of the neck along with fever and exquisite tenderness. Infection in the neck left untreated can impair breathing and spread into the chest.
