Mri said small left mastoid air cell opacification ( an incidental finding ). whats is it and how do i treat ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is a very nonspecific finding and,in the absence of bony erosion or any symptoms, doesn't require treatment. If you have further concerns, an ENT specialist is best to evaluate & advise you.
