Infratemporal and pterygopalatine fossae (ITF and PPF) represent two complex paramedian skull base areas, which can be defined as jewelry boxes, containing a large number of neurovascular and osteomuscular structures of primary importance. They are in close communication with many craniofacial areas, such as nasal/paranasal sinuses, orbit, middle cranial fossa, and oral cavities. Therefore, they can be involved by tumoral, infective or inflammatory lesions spreading from these spaces. Moreover, they can be the primary site of the development of some primitive tumors. For the deep-seated location of ITF and PPF lesions and their close relationship with the surrounding functional neuro-vascular structures, their surgery represents a challenge. In the last decades, the introduction of the endoscope in skull base surgery has favored the development of an innovative anterior endonasal approach for ITF and PPF tumors: the transmaxillary-pterygoid, which gives a direct and straightforward route for these areas. It has demonstrated that it is effective and safe for the treatment of a large number of benign and malignant neoplasms, located in these fossae, avoiding extensive bone drilling, soft tissue demolition, possibly unaesthetic scars, and reducing the risk of neurological deficits. However, some limits, especially for vascular tumors or lesions with lateral extension, are still present. Based on the experience of our multidisciplinary team, we present our operative technique, surgical indications, and pre- and post-operative management protocol for patients with ITF and PPF tumors.

'Stenting the Lacrimal System in Modified Denker's for Mucormycosis: Really Needed!'-A Longitudinal Study.

Authors:
Rahul Gupta Sanket R Shukla Ranjankrishnan G Aiyer

J Maxillofac Oral Surg 2022 Jun 21;21(2):739-742. Epub 2022 Feb 21.

Dept of ENT and Head and Neck Surgery, Baroda Medical College, S.S.G. Hospital, M.S. University, Vadodara, Gujarat India.

Introduction: Recent advances in endoscopic paraphernalia have brought the once intricate anterior lateral wall of maxilla, within reach of the endoscopic surgeon. Endoscopic modified Denker's approach provides another route to reach the indiscernible sites of maxillary & other paranasal sinuses along with PPF (pterygo-palatine fossa)/ITF (infra-temporal fossa) region. This approach has been widely used Pan-India during the Post-Covid Mucormycosis Epidemic, in our country. Read More

Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, The James Cancer Hospital at the Wexner Medical Center of The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA.

Background: Both the endoscopic transnasal Denker's and prelacrimal approaches provide surgical access to the pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) and infratemporal fossa (ITF).

Objectives: This study compares the potential maximum exposure of the PPF and ITF and quantifies the difference in via endoscopic Denker's and prelacrimal approaches.

Methods: Six cadaveric specimens (12 sides) were dissected using a prelacrimal approach on one side and an endoscopic Denker's approach on the contralateral side. Read More
