Abstract:
Objective To observe the anatomical constant sign of the parapharyngeal space operation via endoscopy-assisted transoral approach,and provide evidence for the treatment of the lesions of the pharyngeal space and improve the success rate of the operation. Methods CT multi plane reconstruction and three dimensional reconstruction were performed on 10 fresh dead bodies who were acquired from January 2015 to September 2015,the structure of the lateral pharyngeal space was observed,and the parapharyngeal space operation was performed via endoscopy-assisted transoral approach.Results The CT images showed that dispharynx of very low density extended posterior-lateral into the pharyngeal recess,lateral pharyngeal space located in the lateral pharyngeal recess,a low density triangular shadow with a nar-row of the front and width in the back,wing within muscles,wing outside muscles,masseter and temporal muscle located in the lateral pharyn-geal side clearance,which showed a medium density shadow,styloid process located in the front shadow of pharynx side clearance,the back of the internal carotid artery of pharynx side clearance,which showed medium density shadow.The blood vessels in the pharyngeal space and the nerve development was not clear.Stem styloid located in the temporal bone of the skull base drum subordinates,with length of (24.98 ± 2.01)mm,the internal structures of parapharyngeal space located in styloid process and around the surface of the deep muscular,the outside of styloid process had external carotid artery,facial nerve and mastoid.Inside of the base of styloid process had jugular vein foramen and hypo-glossal canal outside hole,the front inner side had carotid canal outside hole,the foramen spinosum,and oval foramen,the rear with stem hole.The distance between left and right side of root of styloid process to adjacent structures was compared,and the difference had no statisti-cal significance(P >0.05).In addition to the root of the styloid process to stylomastoid foramen.The difference of root of styloid process of males to adjacent structure was greater than that of the females,the difference had statistical significance(P <0.05).Conclusion Endo-scopic-assisted transoral approach to the parapharyngeal space operation hasthe styloid process as the marks of anatomy,the distance of styloid process to adjacent anatomical structures is as the reference,which helps to find and identify the parapharyngeal space of peripheral nerve, blood vessel,etc.
