Abstract

The external auditory canal is comprised of an outer cartilaginous and an inner bony part and is covered entirely by skin. The tympanic membrane is located in an osseous groove (tympanic annulus) and forms a complex angle, roughly about 55° with the sagittal plane. The normal tympanic membrane may not be visible on CT scans. The anterosuperior portion of the tympanic membrane is comprised of the pars flaccida, and the remainder is the pars tensa. The pars flaccida is the most common site of cholesteatoma formation. The handle of the malleus is attached to the pars tensa (Fig. 8.1).
