The caroticotympanic artery (tympanic branch) is a small, sometimes doubled artery which arises from (the petrous portion of) the internal carotid artery. It leaves the carotid canal through a foramen to reach the tympanic cavity. [1]: 416 It contributes arterial supply to the osseous part of the pharyngotympanic tube (Eustachian tube). [1]: 706
Anatomy
Anastomoses
It forms anastomoses with the anterior tympanic branch of the maxillary artery, and the stylomastoid artery. [1]: 416
Variation
Because the caroticotympanic artery is more often absent than present, some controversy exists as to whether these are should be classified as an anatomical variation. [2] Nevertheless, its relevance to internal carotid artery pathologies supports its continued classification as a non-variation anatomical structure. [3] [4] Additionally, the origin of the caroticotympanic artery as a vestige of the embryonic hyoid artery provides a developmental reason for its continued classification as a canonical branch.
