Stylohyoid Window: An Approach in the Management of Parapharyngeal Space Tumours
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 12
Abstract
Abstract: Parapharyngeal space (PPS) is one of the potential confined fascial planes of head and neck that may be involved by various pathological processes. Parapharyngeal tumours are groups of rare tumours in a relatively complex anatomical area and account for 0.5% of head and neck tumors. Proper surgical management of tumour is based on preoperative symptoms, clinical signs and radiological investigations. The aim of the study is to describe our experience with parapharyngeal space tumours resected via stylohyoid windowing approach. In present study 5 cases of parapharyngeal tumours are operated by trans-cervical approach via stylohyoid windowing.
