Abstract

The parapharyngeal space is a potential space below the skull base and lateral to the upper portion of the oropharynx. While tumors in this space are uncommon, neoplasms in this region are often treated surgically. Both clinical diagnosis, imaging and complete surgical excision require excellent 3-dimensional (3D) visualization to successfully plan treatment course and avoid surgical complications. Using combined radiographic images, peer reviewed literature on gross and microscopic anatomy, an anatomically accurate digital 3D model of the parapharyngeal space was developed by an experienced medical illustrator. Surgical techniques for head and neck tumors within the parapharyngeal space are further detailed. The final 3D model was rendered and uploaded to a 3D model repository. Here, we develop a 3D anatomically accurate model for the parapharyngeal space to aid clinicians, radiologists, surgeons, and learners in understanding and visualizing the complex relationships within the parapharyngeal space. This model can serve as a tool for understanding the complex anatomy of the parapharyngeal space and improving diagnostic imaging and surgical approaches to tumors in this region.
咽旁间隙的三维外科解剖:基于放射影像、同行评议文献和医学插图的数字解剖模型
咽旁间隙是颅底以下和口咽上部外侧的一个潜在间隙。虽然该区域的肿瘤并不常见,但该区域的肿瘤通常采用手术治疗。无论是临床诊断、影像学还是完全的手术切除,都需要出色的三维可视化来成功规划疗程并避免手术并发症。结合放射图像,同行评审的大体和显微解剖文献,由经验丰富的医学插图画家开发了咽旁间隙的解剖学精确数字3D模型。进一步详细介绍了咽旁间隙头颈部肿瘤的手术技术。最终的3D模型被渲染并上传到3D模型存储库。在这里,我们开发了咽旁空间的三维解剖精确模型,以帮助临床医生,放射科医生,外科医生和学习者理解和可视化咽旁空间内的复杂关系。该模型可作为了解咽旁间隙复杂解剖结构的工具,改善该区域肿瘤的诊断成像和手术入路。

期刊介绍: This large-size, atlas-format journal presents detailed illustrations of new surgical procedures and techniques in otology, rhinology, laryngology, reconstructive head and neck surgery, and facial plastic surgery. Feature articles in each issue are related to a central theme by anatomic area or disease process. The journal will also often contain articles on complications, diagnosis, treatment or rehabilitation. New techniques that are non-operative are also featured.
