What does child right mastoiditis mean?

summary

Children with mastoiditis is due to the children suffering from acute cavity otitis media, weakened body resistance, virulence of pathogenic bacteria or improper treatment, children with middle ear inflammation continue to develop, tympanic sinus entrance is blocked by swollen mucosa, poor drainage of pus in mastoid, necrosis and shedding of air chamber mucosa, decalcification and necrosis of bone wall, air chamber fusion to form a purulent cavity, called fusion children with mastoiditis.

What does child right mastoiditis mean?

If it is caused by hemolytic streptococcus or Haemophilus influenzae, the air chamber is full of bloody exudate, which is called bloody infantile mastoiditis. If mastoid gasification is not good, it is manifested as mastoid osteomyelitis in children; Acute suppurative otitis media treatment is not complete, although the systemic and local symptoms are not obvious, but the mastoid inflammatory lesions are still in progress, known as hidden infantile mastoiditis. If children's mastoiditis is not controlled, destruction of the mastoid adjacent to the bone wall can cause intracranial and external complications.

In the early stage of the child, there will be fever, hearing loss, ear pus through the tympanic membrane perforation or purulent secretions in the middle ear will soon disappear, but if it is in the mastoid, it will relapse again or even more serious. There are some children suffering from infantile mastitis, often vomiting, diarrhea. Mastoiditis in children can cause swelling and redness of the skin in the mastoid region, accompanied by obvious tenderness. The bone of external auditory canal will be red, swollen or collapsed, making the perforation of tympanic membrane smaller, and the amount of pus perforated is more, which will lead to cyst under the periosteum. Through the mastoid X-ray film can be observed that the shadow of mastoid air chamber is turbid, very fuzzy. In addition, with mastoiditis, the number of white blood cells increased significantly.

Disease harm 1. The decrease of resistance makes the virus invade the human body, leading to the inflammation of the middle ear and the secondary blockage of the swollen mucosa at the entrance of the tympanic sinus, resulting in the abnormal drainage of pus in the mastoid process of children. 2. The residual pus in the mastoid chamber can make the air chamber mucosa necrotic, thus affecting the bone wall, leading to necrosis and decalcification. 3. If the development of mastoid air chamber is hindered, the mastoid will usually produce sclerotic type, which will cause the destruction of mastoid bone seriously, while the bone ulcer type will cause the necrosis of tympanic sinus or mastoid bone.

matters needing attention

Patients with mastoiditis should not touch water after operation, keep the mastoid dry and clean, and timely replace the dressing when it is wet, so as to increase the resistance of children. Mastoiditis as soon as possible to go to the hospital for treatment, do not delay the condition, there will be serious consequences, regular inspection to the hospital.
