Myringoplasty perforation and a small part should also extend over the posterior canal wall. The tympanomeatal flap is then replaced. The temporal fascia is harvested. An incision is made to raise medial meatal skin with tympanic membrane epithelium. The graft is placed on the outer surface of the tympanic membrane and a slit is made to tuck it under the handle of malleus. The ear is packed with gelfoam and antibiotics, and the incision is closed. Finally mastoid dressing is performed. Myringoplasty Myringoplasty is the closure of the perforation of pars tensa of the tympanic membrane. When myringoplasty is combined with
Inferior tympanic artery can result in pulsatile tinnitus. The resulting Aberrant Carotid artery can mimic neoplasm on CT. Inferior tympanic artery The inferior tympanic artery is a small branch of the ascending pharyngeal artery. It is a small branch which passes through a minute foramen in the petrous portion of the temporal bone which is called tympanic canaliculus or inferior tympanic canaliculus, in company with the tympanic branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve, to supply the medial wall of the tympanic cavity and anastomose with the other tympanic arteries. In the case of a missing or underdeveloped cervical ICA, the Inferior tympanic artery can
