摘要
In this article, we present a pictorial review computed tomography (CT) anatomy of pterygopalatine fossa and its communications. Since it represents a major pathway for spread of inflammatory or neoplastic disease between the various compartments, being familiar with the high resolution CT appearance of pterygopalatine fossa and its communications is necessary in selected cases. The diagnostic difficulties in determining the intercompartmental spread is discussed. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
