A member asked:
Can scm cause mastoid process to be slightly enlarged. it's not sore not tender no ear infection. it's more razed up, rounder, than the other one ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal variant: This is likely a normal variant. Your mastoid processes do not have to be symmetric. Likely not related to your SCM. While one SCM may be larger than the other especially if spasming (e.g.torticollis) it should not affect your mastoid process.
