  • Anterosuperior quadrant
    • Pars tensa
  • Posterosuperior quadrant
    • Vessels
    • Nerves
    • Middle ear bones
  • Anteroinferior quadrant
    • Light reflex
  • Posteroinferior quadrant
    • Nothing
  • Surgery
    • Paracentesis – needle puncture to drain fluid
    • Myringotomy – incision, insertion of tube
    • Anteroinferior or posteroinferior quadrant!
  • Diseases
    • Perforation, rupture
    • Myringitis granulosa
      • Type of otitis externa where granulation tissue forms in the tympanic membrane
    • Myringitis bullosa
      • Bulla on membrane
    • Barotrauma
      • Airplane
      • Divers
