Abstract

The present study was designed to identify a relationship between temporomandibular joint and tympanic cavity and potentially justify the possible clinical correlations between these two anatomical entities. For this reason the authors conducted an anatomic-pathological study about the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the neighboring anatomical areas of the middle ear by autopsy finds of human adults.
