Newly identified thin membranous tissue in the deep infratemporal region
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, the importance of deglutition has attracted attention due to its role in the prevention of aspiration pneumonia. We therefore observed the anatomy of the pharynx of 57 hemi-sections of adult Japanese cadavers (male 32 sides, female 25 sides). A previously unidentified tissue was observed in the infratemporal fossa. This unidentified tissue was a thin membranous tissue that existed between the medial pterygoid and the superior constrictor in all of the cadavers examined. The previously unknown membranous tissue consisted of collagenous and muscular fibers and was innervated mainly by a branch of the mandibular nerve.

There is still little agreement among the anatomists and surgeons about the definition, nature, extent, attachments or functions of the transversalis fascia even when during laparoscopic surgery, structures are magnified, and various fascial planes are more clearly defined than in open surgery. In the present study while doing laparoscopic total extraperitoneal preperitoneal (TEP/TEPP) mesh her...
متن کاملThe Transzygomatic Transmandibular Approach to Infratemporal Fossa
The infratemporal fossa is a deep quadrangular space located at the inferior aspect of the middle cranial fossa. Numerous surgical approaches have been described to gain access to benign and malignant pathology of this anatomical area. The transzygomatic transmandibular approach provides excellent wide exposure of the infratemporal space, for resection of tumours afflicting this region.

During routine dissection of the temporal and infratemporal region of a 60-year-old male cadaver, a variation in the supply of the middle deep temporal nerve was observed. It was seen to arise from the anterior trunk of the mandibular nerve. It passed deep to the tendinous arch on the infratemporal crest to reach the temporal region, where it supplied the temporalis muscle. Then, it pierced the...

Background: Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer. Early diagnosis is usually associated with complete eradication however some subtypes especially infiltrative types are associated with deep invasion, multiple recurrences and wide tissue destruction. Thus, any factor contributing to its development or help in diagnosis is appreciated. The aim of the present study ...
