Incidental finding of mastoid opacification in computed tomography imaging of the asymptomatic paediatric population.

CONCLUSION: Mastoid opacification is a common incidental finding in the asymptomatic paediatric population, with prevalence rates between 5 per cent and 20 per cent depending on age. The prevalence peaks in patients aged zero to four years (19-20 per cent) and is inversely correlated with increasing age. PMID: 31269998 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
