What Is the Temporal Fossa?

The temporal fossa is also called the temporal foramen. Temporal fossa is the most important feature of reptile skulls. There are 1 or 2 holes on both sides of the skull and posterior of the orbit. It is surrounded by a temporal arch formed by certain bone fragments. The temporal fossa is the attachment site of the temporal muscle. Its appearance is related to the effective execution of masticatory muscles by the masticatory muscles and provides sufficient space for the contraction of more developed masticatory muscles.

Overview
There are several types of temporal fossa:
Anapsida: No temporal fossa. Cotylosauria belongs to this category. According to traditional classification, modern turtles belong to the temporal fossa, but some species have secondary holes.
Patient male, 15 years old. Right nasal congestion with nasal bleeding for more than 1 year.
Nasopharyngoscopy : Red new creatures can be seen at the right posterior nostril, showing a network of blood vessels, slightly hard, and clear boundaries.
Clinical diagnosis : New creature in right nostril, nature to be determined.
Nasopharynx CT scan (layer thickness and layer distance are 5mm), the image is as follows :
Temporal fossa fibrohemangioma

Temporal fossa fibrohemangioma
zjzjr speech : Typical hemangiofibroma, it is recommended to enhance.
xulianj spoke : Suggestions for enhancement. Malignant tumors can be large.
Man made a speech : support for hemangiofibroma.
Occurs in adolescent men.
Originating from the inner wing, maxillary fissure and sphenopalatine foramen, mainly involving the ethmoid sinus, sphenoid sinus, and skull base.
Clinical manifestations: progressive nasal congestion, repeated nasal epistaxis.
The mass causes the pterygopalatine fossa to expand, compressing the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus, causing it to bend, deform, and shift forward. This is a characteristic manifestation of the disease.
Reinforcement is uniform.
Image Xiaotaidou spoke : The lesion is not in the maxillary sinus! It is caused by surrounding soft tissue lesions, and it protrudes into the maxillary sinus and ethmoid sinus! Consider Hemangiofibroma!
Dyqct spoke : neurofibromas in the pterygopalatine fossa area are not excluded.
Results: (Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology) Postoperative pathological diagnosis : fibrohemangioma. [3]
