Foramen of Huschke: A Portal Between Ear and Temporomandibular Joint
摘要
Foramen of Huschke is an anatomical variation in the antero-inferior aspect of the external auditory canal, in the tympanic portion of the temporal bone, posteromedial to the temporomandibular joint, which acts as a portal for transmission of infections and tumors between temporomandibular joint and ear. Here, we present a case of persistent pus discharge from ear and tenderness with respect to the ipsilateral temporomandibular joint.
