Abstract

Objective To study the multi-slice CT measurements about related anatomical marks of the pterygopalatine fossa and the endoscopic anatomical relationship, providing anatomical basis for clinical surgeryin the pterygopalatine fossa.    Methods    After dissection of the adult cadaveric specimens of five cases (10 sides), MSCT data were adopted for three-dimensional reconstruction for observation of the pterygopalatine fossa and measurement of a number of important anatomic structures  related to endoscopic surgery Finally, the head specimens were dissected in endoscopy, the outcome of whichwas compared to both anatomical measurements.    Results    Anatomical imaging methods and data measured are available, which conformed to the real anatomical situation. There was no significant difference between the two.    Conclusions    Radiological anatomical data about the pterygopalatine fossa are reliable and feasible, and can be used as guidelines for endoscopic surgery.
