X-Ray Both Mastoids Oblique View

Mastoid refers to the temporal bone of the skull lying behind the ear. This bone features air-filled open spaces. When there is an infection in the middle ear, this region is afflicted by a disease called mastoiditis. The oblique view X-ray examination examines the mastoid bone from a lateral perspective. 

Why is it done? 

The x-ray oblique view exam provides valuable mastoid information. It gives the following mastoid pathology results:

* Determining the cortical bone's width
* demonstrating the symmetry of both mastoids

* The creation of cholesteatoma is explained (abnormal skin growth in the middle ear behind the eardrum)
