Located in your middle ear, your mastoid is made up of many air filled spaces that help keep pressure in your ear balanced. An infection in your middle ear can spread to your mastoid and eventually damage the bone. Often a pocket of cells grows from your outer ear into your middle ear causing infection, discharge, swelling and hearing loss. To prevent further damage your consultant may recommend mastoid surgery.
Systemic mastocytosis (mas-to-sy-TOE-sis) is a rare disorder caused by a mutation that results in an excessive number of mast cells in your body. Mast cells normally help protect you from disease and aid in wound healing. But if you have systemic mastocytosis, excess mast cells can build up in various parts of your body. When triggered, these mast cells release substances that can overwhelm your body. You might experience symptoms such as facial flushing, itching, a rapid heartbeat, abdominal cramps, lightheadedness or even loss of consciousness. Common triggers include alcohol, temperature changes, spicy foods and certain medications.
