Temporal bone (medial view) (English)

The medial view of the temporal bone provides a visual of its internal features. Some of these are formed by the imprinting of the passing intracranial structures, such as the groove for middle meningeal artery and groove for sigmoid sinus. We can also get a better appreciation of the contours of the tympanic part, that houses the structures of the middle and inner ear.The temporal bone has three margins, which denote the bones it articulates with: sphenoidal, parietal and occipital margins.
