Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2007
The pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) is a small anatomic region of particular interest in cranial base surgery. Infectious diseases and malignancy may spread through the PPF to contiguous areas as a result of the low resistance offered by the numerous foramina and fissures that surrounds the fossa. We present an anatomic report on the PPF.

Hydatid cyst of the pterygopalatine fossa
Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1991Abstract Echinococcus disease (hydatid cyst) is caused by a small tapeworm, Taenia echinococcus or Echinococcus granulosus. The clinical course of this disease depends on the site of involvement and size of the cyst. The majority of hydatid cysts appear in the liver (65%), lungs (25%), and, less frequently, in the spleen, kidneys, heart, bone, and ...

Surgical anatomy of the pterygopalatine fossa
The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1975The pterygopalatine fossa is the distribution centre for the main vessels and nerves of the middle third of the face. Its surgical anatomy is discussed, with particular emphasis on the relationship between the medical plate of the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone and the vertical plate of the palatine bone; the position of the several foramina is

3D CBCT anatomy of the pterygopalatine fossa
Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2012The anatomy of the pterygopalatine fossa keeps a traditional level and is viewed as constant, even though a series of structures neighboring the fossa are known to present individual variations. We aimed to evaluate on 3D volume renderizations the anatomical variables of the pterygopalatine fossa, as related to the variable pneumatization patterns of ...

Management of a pterygopalatine fossa hydatid cyst
Auris Nasus Larynx, 2012Hydatid cyst disease is a rare parasitic infestation caused by larvae of Echinococcus granulosus. Although larval stage of this parasite can thrive in any part of the body, especially lungs and liver; head and neck involvement is rare. Pterygopalatine fossa involvement is reported in two cases in the literature.

Anatomy of the Pterygopalatine Fossa
1989The sphenomaxillary fissure, bounded in front by the maxillary tuber and behind by anterior portions of the pterygoid process, affords lateral access to the pterygopalatine fossa. It should be noted that the lower part of the pterygoid fossa and anterior border of the pterygoid process is formed by the pyramidal process of the palatine bone.

Hydatid cyst of the pterygopalatine-infratemporal fossa
The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1996AbstractHydatid disease is caused by the parasitic tapewormEchinococcus. This parasite in larval stage can thrive in many parts of the body, most commonly in the liver and the lung. Hydatid disease in the head and neck region is rare. An unusual location for hydatid disease in the pterygopalatine fossa-infratemporal fossa is presented.
