What Is Chronic Mastoiditis?

Chronic mastoiditis is a chronic inflammation of the mucoperiosteal or mastoid bone in the mastoid air cells. It often evolves from acute otitis media or mastoiditis and is more common in children and adolescents. Because the lesions are concealed, they often occur suddenly, and the disease is serious and can be life threatening.
