A member asked:
Ct: "nonspecific focal opacification of a left mastoid air cell" but "no findings to explain hearing loss". what is this & what else could be wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mastoid air cells: are part of the sinus cavity and previous sinus issues can result in opacification on a CT scan. This does not usually cause hearing loss unless it is florid. There are variable causes of hearing loss and it would depend on the type of hearing loss, onset, progression, etc. Recommend seeing your physician for further evaluation and management.
