Understanding Otitis Media, Ear Infections, and Fluid Buildup in the Ear Otitis media (OM) is the medical term for an ear infection. Media means middle, and “otitis is the technical term for inflammation inside the ear. Serous otitis media (SOM) occurs when the Eustachian tube, the valve that controls inner ear pressure, becomes blocked. Since air cannot get into the middle ear space, fluid from the ear lining (called serous fluid) collects in the space instead, blocking the eardrum.

Medical Definition of Ear infection, middle (acute) Acute middle ear infection, medically called acute otitis media, is inflammation of the middle ear and is the most frequent diagnosis in sick children in the U.S. The eustachian tube is shorter in children than adults which allows easy entry of bacteria and viruses into the middle ear, resulting in acute otitis media.

Mastoiditis From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Mastoiditis is the result of an infection that extends to the air cells of the skull behind the ear. Specifically, it is an inflammation of the mucosal lining of the mastoid antrum and mastoid air cell system inside the mastoid process. The mastoid process is the portion of the temporal bone of the skull that is behind the ear which contains open, air-containing spaces.

Otitis media Otitis media is a group of inflammatory diseases of the middle ear. The two main types are acute otitis media (AOM) and otitis media with effusion (OME). AOM is an infection of abrupt onset that usually presents with ear pain. In young children this may result in pulling at the ear, increased crying, and poor sleep.

Overview Conditions of the middle ear that may be related to an ear infection or result in similar middle ear problems include the following: Otitis media with effusion is inflammation and fluid buildup (effusion) in the middle ear without bacterial or viral infection. This may occur because the fluid buildup persists after an ear infection has resolved. It may also occur because of some dysfunction or noninfectious blockage of the eustachian tubes. Chronic otitis media with effusion occurs when fluid remains in the middle ear and continues to return without bacterial or viral infection. This makes children susceptible to new ear infections, and may affect hearing. Chronic suppurative otitis media is a persistent ear infection that often results in tearing or perforation of the eardrum.

What is Malignant Cancer? Malignant cancer is any form of cancer or growth that can spread to other parts of the body in a process called metastasis. It is compared to benign growths or cancers that do not easily spread to other parts of the body and may be much easier to treat.umors can grow in areas of the body such as the brain and be malignant or benign. Any part of the body can host a malignant tumor. Brain and other tumors must be diagnosed to determine if they are benign or malignant.

What is mastoiditis? Mastoiditis is usually a complication of acute otitis media (middle ear infection). Mastoiditis is usually a result of an extension of the inflammation of the middle ear infection into the mastoid air cells. A child with mastoiditis usually has a history of having a recent ear infection or has middle ear infections that continue to reoccur.
