title: [Study of the pharyngomandibular region].
abstract: Expressions used up to the present time to designate the region situated between the vertical ramus of the mandible and the lateral wall of the pharynx (Pterygomaxillary region of Rouvière) are unsatisfactory. In describing the limits of this region and its contents, the authors justify the use of the expression "pharyngomandibular region" and divide the region into two levels, one upper, or rhinopharyngomandibular and one lower or oropharyngomandibular.
