Definition[Bearbeiten]
The inferior tympanic artery is a small branch of the ascending pharyngeal artery.
Course[Bearbeiten]
The inferior tympanic artery runs together with the tympanic ramus of the glossopharyngeal nerve through a small canal in the pars petrosa of the temporal bone, the canaliculus tympanicus. It supplies the medial wall of the cavum tympani and anastomoses there with its neighbouring vessels.
