Mastoiditis Purulent

Purulent mastoiditis (in Latin m.purulentum) is an inflammatory process in the mastoid process. This disease develops due to infection entering the tympanic cavity through the Eustachian tube. In medical terminology, this phenomenon is usually called epidemic mastoiditis. It affects people suffering from chronic diseases of the nose and paranasal sinuses (sinusitis, vasomotor rhinitis, rhinosinusitis, etc.), nasal tone, and allergies. Most often mastitis is unilateral, but sometimes bilateral. More than half of the cases are accompanied by sensorineural hearing loss,
