What's the difference between mastoid and mastoidal?
Mastoid
Definition:
(a.) Resembling the nipple or the breast; -- applied specifically to a process of the temporal bone behind the ear.
(a.) Pertaining to, or in the region of, the mastoid process; mastoidal.
Example Sentences:
(1) A new technique to obliterate the mastoid volume or to reduce an old cavity by means of hydroxyapatite granulate is presented.
(2) Five cases of congenital cholesteatoma of the middle ear and mastoid as defined by Derlacki's criteria were encountered over a 14 month period.
(3) Infections as cerebral abscess or cerebritis secondary to sinus or mastoid disease.
(4) This article presents the author's preferred technique for reconstructing the auricle, simultaneously using Mustarde's mattress sutures, Cochrane's anterior scoring of the antihelix, and the approximating of the concha to the mastoid.
(5) In a second part of the study the accuracy of measurement was judged by correlating tympanometric readings, obtained by using the different procedures, with known pressure levels applied after cannulating the mastoid air cell system.
(6) All cases heretofore described in immunocompromised hosts have involved the external auditory canal and mastoid areas.
(7) These infections include chronic otitis media, chronic sinusitis and mastoiditis, chronic recurrent tonsillitis and lung abscesses.
(8) Five children with acute pseudomonas mastoiditis were treated and followed up in our medical center during a period of three years.
(9) To test ciliary clearance, the fluid was placed in either the tympanum or the mastoid bulla.
(10) The prerequisites to achieve this goal are: the radical exenteration of the mastoid, antrum and epitympanum, the maximal reduction of the volume of the cavity by extensive lateral removal of bone and the adequate shaping of the cavity walls by obliteration of the bone pockets.
(11) The basic surgical guidelines for mastoid segment control are described in chronic ear disease.
(12) Ventilatory conditions, or the existence of soft tissue density, were evaluated by HRCT at such locations as the supratubal recess, mesotympanum, anterior and posterior parts of the tympanic isthmus, epitympanum, and mastoid antrum.
(13) In addition, the mastoid bone over the fistular region had to be removed.
(14) Each mastoid and epitympanum was extensively involved with chronically inflamed tissue which surrounded the ossicles and chorda tympani nerve.
(15) The spinal nerve is essentially damaged at two sites: the supraclavicular fossa (where the nerve is very superficial) and in the antero-lateral triangle of the neck (where the nerve approaches the sterno-cleido-mastoid muscle).
(16) Computed tomography is considered the imaging modality of choice for patients with acute mastoiditis because it can define clearly the regional anatomy and provide important diagnostic information.
(17) Mastoid roentgenograms are usually the only clue to diagnosis of this infection and should be obtained in patients with neonatal meningitis responding poorly to antibiotic therapy.
(18) Most abscesses developed in association with congenital heart disease (5), although sinusitis and mastoiditis were precipitating causes in two patients and one patient, respectively.
(19) The observations allow the conclusion that during acute otitis media the duration of mastoiditis development reduced and many classical symptoms of mastoiditis, e. g. protrusion of the posterior-superior wall of the external acoustic meatus, profuse purulent discharge from the ear, hyperemia, swelling of the behind-the-ear area, occurred less frequently.
(20) Using a retrolabyrinthal approach through the mastoid bone, the endoscopes are inserted in the pontine angle for direct inspection.
