open access: yesCanadian Association of Radiologists Journal, 2017
The pterygopalatine fossa is an important anatomic crossroads that is connected with numerous intra- and extracranial spaces via foramina and fissures. Although this fossa is small, its central location in the skull base and its communications provide clinical, radiological, and anatomical significance.

Endoscopic Resection of Pterygopalatine Fossa and Infratemporal Fossa Malignancies

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2017
The endoscopic resection of pterygopalatine and infratemporal fossa malignancies allows excellent visualization and manipulation of tissues in an anatomically complex area compared with open approaches. With less approach morbidity, endoscopic endonasal surgery allows an easier recovery and earlier transition to adjuvant radiotherapy.

Endoscopic transnasal approaches to pterygopalatine fossa tumors

open access: yesHead & Neck, 2015
AbstractBackgroundThe pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) is a difficult area to access, as it has been traditionally treated by external approaches. The development of endoscopic transnasal approaches enables surgeons to reach this region through a minimally invasive route, reducing the associated morbidity.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective review of ...

3D printing the pterygopalatine fossa: a negative space model of a complex structure [PDF]

open access: yesSurgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2017
Purpose : The pterygopalatine fossa is one of the most complex anatomical regions to understand. It is poorly visualized in cadaveric dissection and most textbooks rely on schematic depictions. We describe our approach to creating a low-cost, 3D model of
