“…To anatomists, this is the postmaxillary region between the ramus of the mandible laterally and the pharyngeal wall medially inferior to the zygomatic arch . Various boundaries delimited by muscles and the parotid gland are described in the clinical literature with some radiologists choosing to include both the masticator and parotid spaces as subdivisions of this fossa…”

An accurate understanding of the arrangement of cervical fascia and its associated compartments is essential for differential diagnosis, predicting the spread of disease, and surgical management. The purpose of this detailed review is to summarize the anatomic, clinical, and radiological literature to determine what is known about the arrangement of cervical fascia and to highlight controversies and consensus. The current terminology used to describe cervical fascia and compartments is replete with confusing synonyms and inconsistencies, creating important interdisciplinary differences in understanding. The term "spaces" is inappropriate. A modified nomenclature underpinned by evidence-based anatomic and radiologic findings is proposed. This should not only enhance our understanding of cervical anatomy but also facilitate clearer interdisciplinary communication.

“…Even in the age of ubiquitous image‐guided navigation, the distances to these landmarks provide a rapid means of confirming one's surgical position. Expanded endonasal endoscopic approaches are increasingly being used to surgically access the ITF 1–9. Two important landmarks have previously been identified to aid the endoscopic skull base surgeon in dissecting the ITF 10.…”

“…The feasibility of endoscopic exploration and resection of PPS and ITF lesions have been demonstrated with endoscopic and robotic surgery 3–9. Although all dissections performed in the four cases presented here were performed with the 0‐degree 4‐mm endoscope (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany), angled and three‐dimensional endoscopes can aid further exploration of the ITF and PPS.…”
