I'm just back from the doctors having been told I've an infection in my mastoid sinus, so yes.
The mastoid sinuses are small air cells located in the mastoid process, which is a bony protrusion located behind the ear. The mastoid sinuses are connected to the middle ear and help regulate air pressure, as well as provide drainage for fluid.
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.

Yes, the mastoid sinuses are typically located in the temporal bones behind the ears and are designed to drain mucus from the middle ear. They are less prone to infections compared to other sinuses because of their drainage system and air-filled nature. However, they can still be infected in certain circumstances.

The temporal bone contains the mastoid process, styloid process, and zygomatic process. It is a vital bone for skull structure and also houses the middle and inner ear structures.

The muscle is from your clavical to your skull. The insertion of the muscle it's attachment to the skull.
Fracture of the basal portion of the skull causes mastoid bruising.
No mastoid and maxillary sinus are two different bones
The mastoid bone is located on the skull, just behind the external ear canal.
