Attic and antrum of ear.
A slight constriction divides it into an upper and a lower chamber the tympanum tympanic cavity proper below and the epitympanum above.

The aim of the study was to describe this surgical technique and its indications and to analyse long term outcomes.
Aditus is an opening through which the attic communicates with the antrum.
The antrum communicates behind and below with the mastoid air cells which vary considerably in number size and form.
It contains the three auditory ossicles whose purpose is to transmit sound vibrations from.
Upon reaching the posterolateral wall of the attic further expansion of the cholesteatoma is deflected superiorly toward the aditus ad antrum and mastoid antrum.
