Abstract

Mastoiditis was a common complication of otitis media in the preantibiotic era. Because its incidence has decreased dramatically in recent years, its diagnosis can be delayed or missed, particularly in infants and young children. This delay can result in significant morbidity and increased costs, owing to longer inpatient treatment and surgical intervention. We offer a current, case-based review of the pathogenesis, presentation, and treatment of mastoiditis.
