  2. Pterygomandibular raphe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterygomandibular_raphe

    The pterygomandibular raphe is the common meeting point of the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle and the buccinator muscle. This common attachment makes the raphe a junction of the oral cavity, oropharynx, and nasopharynx. [3] The inferior alveolar nerve passes lateral to the raphe; the raphe is therefore a landmark for a nerve block of ...

  3. Pterygomandibular space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterygomandibular_space

    The pterygomandibular space is a fascial space of the head and neck (sometimes also termed fascial spaces or tissue spaces). It is a potential space in the head and is paired on each side. It is located between the medial pterygoid muscle and the medial surface of the ramus of the mandible .

  4. Mylohyoid line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mylohyoid_line

    The mylohyoid line is a bony ridge on the internal surface of the body of the mandible.The mylohyoid line extends posterosuperiorly. The mylohyoid line continues as the mylohyoid groove on the internal surface of the ramus.

  5. Fascial spaces of the head and neck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascial_spaces_of_the_head...

    Fascial spaces (also termed fascial tissue spaces [1] or tissue spaces [2]) are potential spaces that exist between the fasciae and underlying organs and other tissues. [3] In health, these spaces do not exist; they are only created by pathology, e.g. the spread of pus or cellulitis in an infection.

  6. Coronoid process of the mandible - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronoid_process_of_the...

    Its posterior border is concave and forms the anterior boundary of the mandibular notch. The lateral surface is smooth, and affords insertion to the temporalis and masseter muscles. Its medial surface gives insertion to the temporalis, and presents a ridge which begins near the apex of the process and runs downward and forward to the inner side ...

  7. Submasseteric space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submasseteric_space

    The communications of each submasseteric space are: to the buccal space anteriorly, to the pterygomandibular space (around the posterior margin of the mandibular ramus to its medial surface) and the parotid space posteriorly, to the superficial temporal space superiorly.

  8. Mandibular notch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandibular_notch

    The mandibular notch, also known as the sigmoid notch, is a groove in the ramus of the mandible. It is the gap between the coronoid process anteriorly and the condyloid process posteriorly. Structure

  9. Pharyngobasilar fascia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharyngobasilar_fascia

    It attaches to the basilar part of occipital bone, the petrous part of the temporal bone (medial to the pharyngotympanic tube), the (posterior border of the) medial pterygoid plate, and the pterygomandibular raphe. It diminishes in thickness inferiorly. Posteriorly, it is reinforced by the pharyngeal raphe. [1]
