Anatomical considerations on the discomalleolar ligament. Journal of Anatomy. 1998;192(4):617-621. doi:10.1017/S00218782980035010021-878210.1017/s0021878298003501https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/122532A study was carried out on the discomalleolar ligament by dissection of adult human cadavers. The ligament corresponds to the most internal portion of the superior lamina of the temporomandibular joint capsule. It extends from the posterointernal portion of the temporomandibular joint disc, penetrates the petrotympanic fissure and reaches the malleus of the middle ear. Because of its morphology and anatomical arrangement the discomalleolar ligament should be considered as an intrinsic ligament of the temporomandibular joint and distinguished from the tympanic portion of the sphenomandibular ligament (anterior ligament of the malleus).engjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1017/S0021878298003501https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-anatomy/article/anatomical-considerations-on-the-discomalleolar-ligament/BD6CBF79EF28EB049C057011A4CFCF00restricted access611Temporomandibular jointmiddle earAnatomía2410.02 Anatomía Humana
