15. Feb. 2020 · The spaces approach to the head and neck is based on compartments defined by the layers of the deep cervical fascia. Each space contains unique contents which are subject to a predictable set of disease processes.

7. Dez. 2009 · In the spatial approach to the anatomy of the infrahyoid neck, the cross-sectional anatomy is described as a series of spaces defined by the various layers of the deep cervical fascia. This facilitates the understanding and interpretation of cross-sectional imaging modalities like CT and MRI (1).

Two naming conventions exist in the literature. In the first definition, familiar to most head and neck surgeons, the parapharyngeal space is divided into prestyloid and poststyloid (retrostyloid) compartments 1-3,10. In the second definition, introduced by some radiologists, the prestyloid parapharygeal space is simply termed the parapharyngeal sp...
The parapharyngeal space is shaped like an inverted pyramid, with its base at the skull base, with its apex inferiorly pointing towards the greater cornu of the hyoid bone 2. 1. fat (main component) 2. vessels 2.1. internal maxillary artery, depending on its course 2.2. ascending pharyngeal artery, depending on its course 2.3. pterygoid venous pl...
The parapharyngeal space appears triangular in the axial plane with density/signal consistent with fat. Knowledge about the displacement patterns of fat within the parapharyngeal space will aid in the localization of lesions within adjacent deep spaces of the head and neck. A lesion arising in the: 1. masticator spacedisplaces the parapharyngeal fa...

23. Nov. 2021 · This chapter provides a review of the surgical and radiological deep neck space anatomy, emphasising the importance of an overarching multidisciplinary approach to optimise patient care, by selecting appropriate imaging protocols based on the clinical differential plus concern for complicating factors.
27. Dez. 2022 · The complex anatomy of deep neck spaces may hide the actual extent of disease: the knowledge of neck anatomy enables radiologists to rapidly evaluate expected routes of spread of infections and to effectively communicate crucial information to surgeons.
