Mastoidite Aguda – O que você precisa saber

Acute mastoiditis is an inflammation of the mastoid bone, located just behind the ear, which usually develops as a complication of untreated or inadequately treated otitis media. This infection can progress rapidly, causing intense pain, retroauricular edema, high fever, and, in severe cases, the formation of abscesses that can extend to neighboring structures, such as the venous sinus, the brain, or the meninges.
