2024年7月16日 · glossotonsillar sulci (area between base of tongue/lingual tonsils and palatine tonsils) valleculae (space between the base of tongue and epiglottis) oropharyngeal isthmus (space between the palatoglossal arches)
CHEEK (C04._) consists of a semilunar shaped space over the mylohyoid and hypoglossus muscles, extending from the inner surface of the lower alveolar ridge to the undersurface of the tongue. Its posterior boundary is the base of the anterior pillar of the tonsil.
glossotonsillar sulcus (Fig. 4C). In the sagit-tal oblique plane, the tonsil can be visualized in the longitudinal axis (Fig. 4D). The degree of obliquity required varies with each patient and tonsil. The tonsils can be manipulated to confirm the glossotonsillar sulcus. Patients can also move their tongue mediolaterally and vice
Oropharynx: Introduction - Radiology Key
2017年5月14日 · Lymphoid tissue normally lies in the glossotonsillar sulcus and along the tongue base (white arrowheads). These multiple layers of tissues create the layered appearance of the oral tongue and tongue base as seen on computed tomography and magnetic resonance images.
Abstract Objective: This review aims to discuss the basic anatomy and physiology of the pal-atine and pharyngeal tonsils, with reference to how this foundational understanding may affect patient management and surgical procedures in these regions of the upper airway.
