The mastoid is located just behind the ear. Mastoiditis is an infection of the bony air cells in the mastoid bone, located just behind the ear.
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.
