Pathophysiology
1.Mastoiditis is a result of chronic otitis media, where there is damage to the tympanic membrane.
2.The infection then drains into the mastoid cavity where infecting organisms thrive and multiply, resulting in increased exudate.
- Excessive drainage from the mastoid cavity traverses through the middle ear and out of the perforated tympanic membrane through into the external auditory canal
- The Inflammatory process in the mastoid air cells results in oedema and more exudate thus increase the pressure in the bony cavity.
