Overview
Mastoiditis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause postauricular inflammation or swelling such as lymphadenopathy, periauricular cellulitis, auricle perichondritis, mumps and mastoid tumors. These diseases may be distinguished from mastoiditis via clinical finding and laboratory testing.
Differentiating Mastoiditis from other Diseases
Mastoiditis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause postauricular inflammation or swelling.[1][2][3]
| Disease | Clinical findings | laboratory findings | |
|---|---|---|---|
| History and symptoms | Physical examinations | ||
| Mastoiditis |
|
|
|
| Enlarged lymph node |
|
No effect on auricle and tympanic membrane |
|
| Periauricular cellulitis | Tympanic membrane is normal. |
| |
| Perichondritis of the auricle | Swelling and erythema of the pinna. |
|
|
| Mumps |
|
Tympanic membrane is normal | Mild leukocytosis may be presents |
| Mastoid tumors |
|
