Would debridement of mastoid cavity three times plus a year be a feasible treatment?
Barbara1961
All ear canals are different, that said, I have mine cleaned 2x a year. I had surgery in 1978 because of constant infections...the docs could not restore my hearing! I have no hearing in that ear, nada! Do well with speech-reading and an aid. My so called good ear has about 10% hearing with the aid. Hope this answer helps.

What is the term there is haziness of the left middle ear cavity and mastoid antrum with sclerosed mastoid air cells due to chronic oto-mastoiditis?
conduction deafness
What is an intrasanitary isotope therapy?
I think you mean intracavitary isotope therapy. It means treatment with radioactive needles, seeds, wires, isotopes placed in body cavity for treatment of cancer
What is middle ear cleft?
The middle ear cleft is the space within the middle ear that includes the eardrum, the middle ear cavity, and the three small bones known as the ossicles. It is responsible for transmitting sound vibrations from the outer ear to the inner ear. The middle ear cleft is important for normal hearing and is often affected by conditions such as ear infections or tumors.
Is the abnominopelvic cavity anterior to the spinal cavity?
Yes, the abdominopelvic cavity is anterior to the spinal cavity.
Which cavity is located inferior to the abdominal cavity?
What cavity in the lower abdominal cavity called
What does opacification of mastoid air cells mean?
Opacification of the mastoid air cells means there is an infection in the nasal cavity. This is when there is a mastoid inflammation or infection and involves the mastoid air cells.

The relationship between the temporal bone and the ear?
The petrous part of the temporal bone encloses the structures of the inner ear. Inside the tympanic cavity within the petrous part is the middle ear. The external acoustic canal ends at the tympanic membrane, which leads to the inner ear. Mastoid air cells within the mastoid process are connected to the tympanic cavity.
Are Sinuses found in the temporal bone?
The paranasal sinuses (which surround the nose) are found in the following bones: frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and maxillary. The maxillary sinuses are the largest of all sinuses. There are also sinuses found near the mastoid process of the temporal bone called the mastoid sinuses. The mastoid sinuses communicates with the inner ear, whereas the paranasal sinuses communicate with the nasal cavity.
What is odontology?
This is the study and treatment of the oral cavity.
What should one do if they get a peritoneal cavity?
The peritoneal cavity is a normal part of human anatomy. It is not a condition that requires treatment.
What is adhesive otitis media?
Adhesive otitis media, also known as tympanosclerosis, is a condition where scar tissue forms on the middle ear structures, typically the eardrum and the tiny bones in the middle ear. This scar tissue can cause conductive hearing loss and may require treatment if it affects hearing significantly.
What are mastoids?
Mastoiditis is an infection of the mastoid bone of the skull. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Mastoiditis is usually a consequence of a middle ear infection (acute otitis media). The infection may spread from the ear to the mastoid bone of the skull. The mastoid bone fills with infected materials and its honeycomb-like structure may deteriorate. Mastoiditis most commonly affects children. Before antibiotics, mastoiditis was one of the leading causes of death in children. Now it is a relatively uncommon and much less dangerous disorder. Symptoms * ear pain or discomfort o earache o pain behind the ear * redness of the ear or behind the ear * fever, may be high or spike (have sudden high increases) * headache * drainage from the ear Signs and tests An examination of the head may indicate mastoiditis. A skull X-ray or head CT scan or CT of the ear may show an abnormality in the mastoid bone. A culture of drainage from the ear may show bacteria. Treatment Mastoiditis may be difficult to treat because it is difficult for medications to reach deep enough into the mastoid bone. It may require repeated or long-term treatment. Antibiotics by injection, then antibiotics by mouth are given to treat the infection. Surgery to remove part of the bone and drain the mastoid (mastoidectomy) may be needed if antibiotic therapy is not successful. Surgical drainage of the middle ear through the eardrum (myringotomy) may be needed to treat the underlying middle ear infection. Expectations (prognosis) Mastoiditis is curable with treatment but may be hard to treat and may recur. Complications * recurrence * partial or complete hearing loss of the affected ear * destruction of the mastoid bone * facial paralysis * meningitis * spread of infection to the brain or throughout the body * epidural abscess Calling your health care provider Call your health care provider if symptoms indicate mastoiditis. Call for an appointment with your health care provider if a known ear infection does not respond to treatment or is followed by new symptoms, or if symptoms do not respond to treatment. Prevention Prompt and complete treatment of ear infections reduces the risk of developing mastoiditis.

How do you treat atelectasis?
there is no treatment for atelectasis.Atelectasis or lung collapse can occur uni or bilaterally. Often because air has entered the pleural cavity via a chest wound but can also be a result of a rupture of the visceral pleura. When air is inside the pleural cavity it is known as a pneumothorax. Treatment involves closing the "hole" and drawing air out of the pleural cavity using chest tubes. This allows the lung/s to reinflate and resume normal function. As each lung has its own separate pleural cavity, one lung can collapse without interfering with the other.
