<p>This study aimed to study  the mastoid air cells diseases and their complications using spiral CT, it was conducted in Alfaisal Specialized hospital and Ibn Elhaitham Diagnostic center in the period between September 2012 to January 2013, Hundred patients of different ages and different genders  who were  suspected of having  mastoid air cells pathologies   underwent Spiral CT scan  of their  temporal bones using 4MDSCT (Toshiba medical system),then  the scanning was done with collimation of (1-2) mm, 2mm slice thickenings  ,120 Kvp ,160 MA and 1 second rotation time. after that  The results were confirmed that the mastoid air cells diseases were very common and they had serious complications, (The diseases of mastoditis and mastoditis with CSOM had higher frequency (83 pts among 100 pts).and they had pathological changes of anatomical structures of the temporal bones which contains organs of hearing and balance). Finally the study has found that Spiral CT scan is an effective imaging modality in studying of mastoid air cells diseases and their complications. Also it was more affective to explain the complex anatomical structures of the temporal bones and to know the pathological changes within it</p>
