In human anatomy, Prussak's Space is the small middle ear recess, bordered laterally by the flaccid part of Shrapnell's membrane, superiorly by the scutum and lateral malleal ligament, inferiorly by the short process of the malleus, and medially by the neck of the malleus. From the neck of the malleus, the anterior malleolar fold and the anterior ligament arise, demarcating Prussak's space anteriorly. Ventilation of Prussak's space is only possible posteriorly above the posterior malleus fold. It communicates with the posterior pouch of von Troltsch. It is named after the Russian otologist Alexander Prussak (1839-1897).〔Alexander Prussak in Archiv für Ohrenheilkunde, 1867, 3: 255.〕 ==Boundaries== * ''Medially:'' neck of malleus and lateral malleolar ligament * ''Laterally:'' pars flaccida * ''Inferiorly:'' lateral process of malleus * ''Superiorly:'' lateral malleolar fold and scutum * "Anteriorly:" Anterior malleolar ligament 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prussak's space」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
