Mastoiditis is a serious bacterial infection that affects the mastoid bone behind the ear. It's usually more common in children, although adults can also sometimes be affected. The mastoid bone has a honeycomb-like structure that contains air spaces called mastoid cells.
The mastoid bone is located in the skull just behind the ear. When a mastoidectomy is performed, the air cells in the mastoid bone are removed. Your child may have a gauze bandage on her ear or around her head. Your child's doctor will take the bandage off the day after the operation.
