Imaging of Parapharyngeal Space and Infratemporal Fossa
Cross-sectional imaging is an indispensable tool in the investigation of parapharyngeal space and infratemporal fossa pathologies. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging exquisitely display the complex anatomy of this region and provides accurate spatial localization of pathology, differential diagnosis and vital information for treatment planning.
متن کاملEndoscopic transvestibular paramandibular exploration of the infratemporal fossa and parapharyngeal space: a minimally invasive approach to the middle cranial base.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To describe a novel transvestibular endoscopic approach for the exposure, exploration, and resection of lesions in the infratemporal fossa (ITF) and parapharyngeal space (PPS). STUDY DESIGN Surgical technique and clinical feasibilty of a novel approach to the middle cranial base. METHODS The transvestibular endoscopic approach was applied to four patients with lesions ...
متن کاملCombined simultaneous transcranial and endoscopic endonasal resection of sphenoorbital meningioma extending into the sphenoid sinus, pterygopalatine fossa, and infratemporal fossa
BACKGROUND Sphenoorbital meningiomas are surgically challenging because of their nature to extend to adjacent structures. Here, we describe a case of recurrent sphenoorbital meningioma extending into the sphenoid sinus, pterygopalatine fossa, and infratemporal fossa, which was resected using combined simultaneous transcranial and endoscopic endonasal approaches. CASE DESCRIPTION A 62-year-old...
متن کاملSurgical Outcome of Mandibular Swing Approach for Infratemporal Fossa Tumors
Infratemporal fossa masses are rare. The largest series is probably of Fisch describing his approaches in 51 patients.1 There are numerous approaches for these masses with their own pros and cons. For instance, Fisch type C2 approach provides good exposure but is associated with permanent hearing loss. Preauricular transzygomatic, maxillary swing,3 and transantral4 approaches provide good expos...
متن کاملCalcified Middle Cranial Fossa Mass
A 21-year-old male presented for evaluation of transient loss of consciousness and was found to have a hyperdense mass in the left middle fossa. He underwent craniotomy for tumor resection. Intra- and extradural invasion was noted. Gross total resection was achieved. Pathology demonstrated a densely cellular neoplasm with predominately spindle cell morphology in a collagen-containing stroma, ar...
