Tóm tắt

While radiologists are familiar with the masticator space, the surgeons are more familiar with the infratemporal fossa (ITF). Though often used interchangeably, there exists a subtle difference between them, which needs to be understood. The close anatomical relationship of the infratemporal fossa to critical structures makes timely diagnosis vital. In this pictorial review, we present a spectrum of various pathologies affecting ITF.
