INFRATEMPORAL FOSSA Contents Mandibular nerve Otic ganglion M. ASIF BMLT., M.Sc(medical anatomy) Dept Of Anatomy
INFRATEMPORAL FOSSA • Region situated below the middle cranial fossa of the skull, intervenes between the pharynx and the ramus of the mandible
BOUNDARIES • Anterior- maxilla • Posterior- styloid process • Medial- lateral pterygoid plate • Lateral- ramus & coronoid process • Above- Infratemporal surface of greater wing of sphenoid • Below- open
COMMUNICATIONS • Infront- orbit through inferior orbital fissure • Medial- Pterygopalatine fossa through pterygopalatine fissure • Above & lateral- temporal fossa • Above & medial- middle cranial fossa through F. ovale & F. spinosum
CONTENTS • Muscles- lateral & medial pterygoids, temporalis • Nerves- mandibular nerve & branches, chorda tympani nerve, Otic ganglion and connections • Vessels- maxillary artery & pterygoid venous plexus
LATERAL PTERYGOID MUSCLE • key muscle • Origin- 2 heads Upper- sphenoid Lower- lateral pterygoid plate • Insertion-pterygoid fovea, capsule & articular disc of TMJ.
LATERAL PTERYGOID • Nerve supply- anterior division of mandibular nerve • Actions- • Depression of mandible. • Protrusion of mandible - • Side- side chewing movements
RELATIONS • Superficial – • maxillary artery • Tendon of temporalis • Ramus of mandible • Masseter • deep – • mandibular nerve and branches
Relations • Upper border –deep temporal and masseteric nerves • Lower border -lingual & inferior alveolar nerve • Sphenomandibular ligament • Middle meningeal artery.
MEDIAL PTERYGOID • Origin-2 heads Deep- lateral pterygoid plate Superficial- tuberosity of maxilla & palatine bone • Insertion- medial surface of ramus & angle of mandible
MEDIAL PTERYGOID • Nerve supply- branch from trunk of mandibular nerve • Actions- • Elevation of mandible • Protrusion of mandible • Side- side chewing movements
RELATIONS • Lateral surface – • Ramus of mandible • Lateral pterygoid muscle • Sphenomandibular ligament. • Maxillary artery • Inferior alveolar vessels & nerve • Lingual nerve • Medial surface- • Tensor veli palatini • Superior constrictor of pharynx • Styloglossus and stylopharyngeus
Masseter • Origin:Zygomatic Arch. • Insertion:Lateral surface of the ramus of the mandible. • Action:Elevation of the mandible combined with protraction
Temporalis Origin: temporal fossa, temporal fascia . Insertion: coronoid process of the mandible. Action: • Elevates the mandible • Retraction – posterior fibers
MANDIBULAR NERVE • Largest of 3 divisions of trigeminal nerve • Mixed nerve - sensory + motor root present • Sensory - trigeminal ganglion • Motor - pons • Emerge through Foramen ovale
MANDIBULAR NERVE Trigeminal ganglion pons Sensory root Motor root Middle cranial fossa Foramen ovale unite Infratemporalfossa Trunk of the mandibular nerve Otic ganglion & middle meningeal artery lies behind the trunk. Medially-tensor velipalatini. Laterally-lateral pterygoid.
