متن کاملImaging 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 کاملOutcome of resection of infratemporal fossa tumors.
