Chronic mastoiditis, often a complication of chronic suppurative otitis media with cholesteatoma, is not as rare as previously believed, particularly in Malaysia. Early diagnosis using mastoid X-rays is crucial for suspected cases.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Chronic mastoiditis and subperiosteal abscess are infrequently encountered in contemporary medical practice.
  • This study investigates the prevalence of chronic mastoiditis in Malaysia's east coast.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of chronic mastoiditis.
  • To identify associated pathologies and risk factors.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 34 mastoiditis cases.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, medical history, and radiological findings.

Main Results:

  • Chronic mastoiditis was observed in 34 cases, with 58.82% stemming from chronic suppurative otitis media and cholesteatoma.
  • All affected patients were over six years old.

  • 45% of chronic mastoiditis cases presented with a well-pneumatized mastoid air cell on the contralateral side, suggesting it's not as rare as thought.

    • Conclusions:

    • Chronic mastoiditis, especially when associated with cholesteatoma, occurs more frequently than anticipated, even in well-pneumatized mastoids.
    • Mastoid X-rays are valuable diagnostic tools.
    • Underlying pathologies like cholesteatoma should be suspected in adult mastoiditis cases.
