The parapharyngeal space (also termed the lateral pharyngeal space), is a potential space in the head and the neck. It has clinical importance in otolaryngology due to parapharyngeal space tumours and parapharyngeal abscess developing in this area. It is also a key anatomic landmark for localizing disease processes in the surrounding spaces of ...
The boundaries of each pterygomandibular space are: [1] the posterior border of the buccal space anteriorly; the parotid gland posteriorly; the lateral pterygoid muscle superiorly; the inferior border of the mandible (lingual surface) inferiorly; the medial pterygoid muscle medially (the space is superficial to medial pterygoid)
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.
Behind the ostium of the eustachian tube (ostium pharyngeum tuba auditiva) is a deep recess, the pharyngeal recess (fossa of Rosenmüller). Clinical significance
The boundaries of the infratemporal space are: [4] the greater wing of the sphenoid bone superiorly; the pterygomandibular space inferiorly; the infra-temporal surface of the maxilla anteriorly, the lateral pterygoid plate, part of the lateral pterygoid muscle and lateral pharyngeal wall medially

The sublingual space is V-shaped, with the apex pointing to the anterior. Its boundaries are: [2] the mucosa of the floor of mouth and the tongue superiorly; the mylohyoid muscle inferiorly; the medial surface of the mandible anterolaterally; the muscles along the base of the tongue (geniohyoid and genioglossus muscles) posteriorly
