The mastoid air cell system accounts for most of the volume of the middle ear cleft and, consequently, for most of the mucosa available for gas exchange 2. Therefore, the total mucosal surface area has direct impact on gas exchange rates 1. Gas exchanges are carried out through the air cell mucosa. Both compartments are lined by the same respiratory mucosa. The posterior-superior compartment comprehends the epitympanum and the retrotympanum, the aditus ad antrum and the antrum mastoideum, and the mastoid air cell system it is primarily devoted to gas exchange.

The anterior-inferior compartment's main role is clearance, and it includes the protympanum, the mesotympanum, and the hypotympanum. The middle ear cleft is divided by the tympanic isthmus into anterior-inferior and posterior-superior compartments. Further studies with larger populations will provide evidence as to whether Brazilian subjects have larger surface areas and volumes than other populations. Mean surface areas and volumes were higher than previously published, unlike surface area-to-volume ratios, which were lower. Mastoid surface areas and volumes of adult Brazilian subjects followed a linear correlation, as also described in studies carried out in other countries.

Surface areas varied linearly with volumes. Surface areas ranged from 43.9 to 525.2 cm 2. Mastoid volumes ranged from 5.5 to 72.4 cm 3.

Measurements of surface area and volume were made based on serial CT scans and produced with the aid of software package Image Pro Plus. This contemporary cross-sectional cohort study included 28 patients submitted to CT imaging of the mastoid. To check the ratio between mastoid surface area and volume. These measurements add to the understanding of middle ear physiology, related diseases, and their impact on mastoid pneumatization. Computed tomography-based measurements of mastoid surface area and volume have not been described for adult Brazilian individuals.
