| tympanic membrane perforation | An opening in the tympanic membrane usually caused by trauma. There are four general categories: compression injuries (the most common and usually the result of a blow to the ear); instrumentation injuries (the second most common, usually inadvertent, caused often by cotton swabs or bobby-pins); burn-slag injuries (frequently seen in industry, from hot metal from machines or welding); and blast injuries (usually seen during war or as a result of terrorist bombing). In the absence of infection, most traumatic tympanic membrane perforations heal spontaneously. Persistent perforation is usually a manifestation of tubotympanitis, an inflammation of the eustachian tube and tympanic cavity (middle ear). (12 Dec 1998) |
| umbo of tympanic membrane | The projection on the inner surface of the tympanic membrane at the end of the manubrium of the malleus; this corresponds to the most depressed point of the membrane, viewed laterally, that is commonly called the umbo. Synonym: umbo membranae tympani, umbo. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flaccid part of tympanic membrane | Triangular loose part of tympanic membrane between the malleolar folds. Synonym: pars flaccida membranae tympani, flaccid membrane, membrana flaccida, Rivinus' membrane, Shrapnell's membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| limbus of tympanic membrane | Margin of the tympanic membrane attaching to the tympanic sulcus. Synonym: limbus membranae tympani. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior tympanic artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, maxillary; distribution, middle ear; anastomoses, tympanic branches of internal carotid and ascending pharyngeal and stylomastoid. Synonym: arteria tympanica anterior, glaserian artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior wall of tympanic cavity | It contains the carotid canal and the opening of the auditory tube. Synonym: paries caroticus cavi tympani, anterior wall of middle ear, carotid wall of middle ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial wall of tympanic cavity | A bony layer separating the middle from the internal ear or labyrinth; it contains the fenestra vestibuli and the fenestra cochleae. Synonym: paries labyrinthicus cavi tympani, labyrinthine wall of middle ear, medial wall of middle ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| greater tympanic spine | The anterior edge of the tympanic notch (of Rivinus). Synonym: spina tympanica major. (05 Mar 2000) |
| roof of tympanic cavity | The superior wall, or roof, of the tympanic cavity, formed by the tegmen tympani of the temporal bone. Synonym: paries tegmentalis cavi tympani, tegmental wall of middle ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of facial nerve with tympanic plexus | A fine branch of facial nerve joining the tympanic branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve. Synonym: ramus communicans nervi facialis cum plexu tympanico. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mucosa of tympanic cavity | The mucous layer of the tympanic cavity and the structures in it. Synonym: tunica mucosa cavitatis tympani, mucous membrane of tympanic cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior tympanic artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, stylomastoid; distribution, middle ear; anastomoses, other tympanic arteries. Synonym: arteria tympanica posterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior wall of tympanic cavity | It contains the opening into the mastoid antrum. Synonym: paries mastoideus cavi tympani, mastoid wall of middle ear, posterior wall of middle ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| post-tympanic | <anatomy> Situated behind the tympanum, or in the skull, behind the auditory meatus. Origin: Pref. Post- + tympanic. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
