Final answer:

Otorrhea is frequently a result of infections like acute otitis media that lead to fluid accumulation, bacterial growth, and a break in the mastoid bone.


Explanation:

Otorrhea is often caused by a break in the mastoid, which is a part of the temporal bone. This can occur due to infections like acute otitis media that affect the middle ear, leading to fluid accumulation and bacterial growth. Such infections can block the eustachian tubes, trapping fluid and causing otorrhea.
