A text-book of the diseases of the ear for students and practitioners . hich is situated laterally to the labyrinthine capsule. THE LIGAMENTS OF THE OSSICLES (?) The Ligaments of the Ossicles. Several ligamentous bands are still to be enumerated in addition to thosecapsular ligaments mentioned above; these extend between the walls of thetympanic cavity and the ossicles, retaining them in their position, and actingas check-bands in case of too great excursions. 1. The ligamentum malleisuperius is a round band, which extends from the superior wall of thetympanic cavity to the head of the malleus ; it acts as a check against anexcessive external rotation. 2. The ligamentum mallei anterius (Fig. 34, la)is a short, very broad, fibrous band, which encircles the long process of themalleus, and is inserted into those parts of the head and neck which aredirected forwards. It must be regarded as the residuum of the embryonicprocessus Meckeli of the malleus. This is proven by the investigations ofSapolini and Verga, who described a ligamentum malleo-maxillare, which.
