[The attic. Anatomoclinical correlation].
Among the hidden parts of the middle ear, the posterior part of the atrium undoubtedly raises the most interest of otologists. The attic is a frequent localization of cholesteatoma and retraction pouches. Its anatomy is not well known, especially the anterior and internal walls. This anatomic study, based on the dissection of 41 petrus bones was designed to determine the anatomic limits and describe the "noble structures" of this region in order to "guide" future surgical procedures.
