Abstract:

Pterygopalatine fossa is a narrow rift, posteroinferior to orbital apex and interior to infratemporal fossa. There are many important blood vessels and nerve tissues passed through the pterygopalatine fossa. Many diseases from oral and nasal cavity, orbital cavity, middle cranial fossa, infratemporal fossa and paranasal sinuses can involve pterygopalatine fossa. This article summaried the anatomical characters of pterygopalatine fossa and research advancements of related technique for diagnosis and treatment.

Key words: pterygopalatine fossa, anatomy, trigeminal neuralgia
