What is an infredemmporal fossa?
Inframporal fossa is a cavity with an irregular shape located under the zygomatic arch, also known as the cheekbone. This cavity contains several structures responsible for the supply of face and head. The types of structures contained in the infredictoric fossa include muscles, nerves and blood vessels. The muscles of the Pterygoid are responsible for helping to move the lower jaw. The role of Temporalis muscle is to increase the lower jaw, allowing you to close the mouth. This artery is responsible for the supply of clean blood to the deepest structures found in the face. It is also located in an infra -co -camping fossa vein net called pterygoid venous plexus. This net leads to the maxillary vein, which is respond to the transfer of used blood from the face back to the heart. The mandibular nerve is the largest branch of the nerve known as the trigeminal nerve that is responsible for the feelings of the face. The Tympani is a facial nerve branch and helps with a feeling of taste.
The cavity is bounded on the front of Maxilla, sometimes called a mustache bone. In the back of this cavity lies the sphenoid bone found on the skull base. Other structures bordering on infra -coins are a side pterygoid plate and part of the jaw or jaw ramus.
Due to its position and diversity of structures located in infra -coins, this cavity is susceptible to damage caused by conditions such as infections or tumors. Infections are often caused by dental abscesses that move to this open area. This can happen spontaneously or after a dental procedure, such as tooth extraction. Without rapid treatment, such infections are potentially threatening life.
tumors affecting infra -representoral fossu and surrounding areas often require surgical intervention. Precise treatment will depend on the extent of damage and whether the tumor becomes malignant or cancer. The prognosis also depends on the individual situation, although the surgery of the tumor removal is noAs a result, which allows the patient to lead a normal life.
