The submental lymph nodes (or suprahyoid lymph nodes [citation needed]) are 2-3 lymph nodes [1] situated in the submental triangle, [1] between the anterior bellies of the digastric muscle and the hyoid bone.
Medial (towards the midline), formed by the midline of the neck between the mandible and the hyoid bone; Inferior (below), formed by the body of the hyoid bone; Floor is formed by the mylohyoideus; Roof is formed by investing layer of deep cervical fascia
The submental space is a fascial space of the head and neck (sometimes also termed fascial spaces or tissue spaces). It is a potential space located between the mylohyoid muscle superiorly , the platysma muscle inferiorly , [ 1 ] under the chin in the midline.
This space is subdivided into four smaller triangles by the digastricus above, and the superior belly of the omohyoideus. These smaller triangles are named: the muscular triangle; the carotid triangle; the submandibular triangle; the submental triangle
Suprahyoid (above the hyoid) Infrahyoid (below the hyoid) Fascial spaces traversing the length of the neck; In oral and maxillofacial surgery, the fascial spaces are almost always of relevance due to the spread of odontogenic infections. As such, the spaces can also be classified according to their relation to the upper and lower teeth, and ...
The submandibular space is a fascial space of the head and neck (sometimes also termed fascial spaces or tissue spaces). It is a potential space , and is paired on either side, located on the superficial surface of the mylohyoid muscle between the anterior and posterior bellies of the digastric muscle . [ 1 ]
It surrounds the neck like a collar, it splits around the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the trapezius muscle. It is attached as; Posteriorly - Ligamentum nuchae; Anteriorly - Attached to the hyoid bone; Superiorly - (from backwards to forwards); External occipital protuberance and superior nuchal line of occipital bone; Mastoid process of ...
The deep cervical fascia (or fascia colli in older texts) lies under cover of the platysma, and invests the muscles of the neck; it also forms sheaths for the carotid vessels, and for the structures situated in front of the vertebral column. Its attachment to the hyoid bone prevents the formation of a dewlap. [1]
