The average monthly benefit paid out for all disability recipients in November 2010 was $1,067.
Mastoiditis may occur as a complication of acute or chronic otitis media. Acute otitis media (AOM), an acute illness marked by the presence of middle ear fluid and inflammation of the mucosa that lines the middle ear space, is discussed separately. (See Acute otitis media in adults (suppurative and serous).)
As mentioned above, mastoiditis most often develops as a result of a middle ear infection. Bacteria from the middle ear can travel into the air cells of the mastoid bone. In addition, a type of skin cyst in the middle ear, called a cholesteatoma, may block drainage of the ear, leading to mastoiditis.astoiditis is a bacterial infection of the mastoid bone. The mastoid bone, which sits behind the ear, consists of air spaces that help drain the middle ear.
