Histological study of the extratympanic portion of the discomallear ligament in adult humans: a functional hypothesis

Abstract: This study was carried out on histological aspects of the extratympanic portion of the discomallear ligament (DL) in adult humans. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) was dissected bilaterally in 20 cadavers; in 15 cases the articular disc (AD) and the retroarticular tissue were extirpated. The extratympanic portion of the DL had the shape of a base-down triangle, in relation to the AD, and an upper vertex, in relation to the petrotympanic fissure. In five cases, the base, measured bilaterally, had an average le… Show more

“…He also suggested that the movements of TMJ transferred via DML could cause the movement of the ear ossicles and the tympanic membrane [ 9 ]. A recent histological study supports this assumption [ 14 ]. These movements could cause subjective hearing loss, tinnitus and TMJ pain [ 17 ].…”

“…Los resultados obtenidos en los estudios seleccionados en esta revisión sistemática indican la existencia de una lámina o fascículo fibroso que conecta el disco de la ATM con el maléolo del oído medio (Coleman;Rodríguez-Vásquez et al, 1993;Alves & Figueiredo;Arai & Sato, 2011;Mérida-Velasco et al, 2012).…”

“…En su recorrido, el ligamento discomaleolar entra al oído medio a través de la porción más lateral de la fisura petrotimpánica. Mérida-Velasco et al (2012) describieron que existe una relación entre la cara lateral del ligamento discomaleolar y las ramas mediales del grupo posterior de la arteria timpánica anterior. El borde medial del ligamento discomaleolar presenta adherencias a Fig.…”
