[Superior external approach to the pterygomaxillary fossa and its extensions].
Access to the pterygomaxillary fossa is obtained with difficulty, classical approaches to this lateral craniofacial cross-roads being either narrow or mutilating. In some affections it is justifiable to use a scalp approach with temporary displacement of the zygomaticomalar block, this providing an excellent view of the region.
