Delayed pneumatization of the mastoid process
An abnormally reduced degree of pneumatization (i.e., formation of air cells) in the mastoid process with respect to age-dependent norms. [from HPO]
Advanced pneumatization of the mastoid process
An abnormally advanced degree of pneumatization (i.e., formation of air cells) in the mastoid process with respect to age-dependent norms. [from HPO]
Mastoiditis
Inflammation of the mucosal lining of the mastoid antrum and mastoid air cell system of the mastoid process. [from NCI]
Cholesteatoma
Cholesteatoma is a benign but potentially destructive growth consisting of keratinizing epithelium located in the middle ear and/or mastoid process. In cholesteatoma, a skin cyst grows into the middle ear and mastoid. The cyst is not cancerous but can erode tissue and cause destruction of the ear. [from HPO]
Absent mastoid
A developmental anomaly in which the mastoid process fails to form and is thus found to be congenitally absent. [from HPO]
Abnormal mastoid morphology
An abnormality of the mastoid process, which is the conical prominence projecting from the undersurface of the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. [from HPO]
