Tympanic plexus

Template:Infobox Nerve Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

In the tympanic cavity the tympanic nerve divides into branches which form the tympanic plexus and are contained in grooves upon the surface of the promontory.

This plexus gives off:

• (1) the lesser superficial petrosal nerve
• (2) a branch to join the greater superficial petrosal nerve
• (3) branches to the tympanic cavity
