Features of the topographic and anatomical structure of the intratemporal fossa occurring during blockade of the mandibular nerve adjacent to the foramen ovale

Abstract

Anatomical structure of the infratemporal fossa must be taken into account when blocking the mandibular nerve at the foramen ovale. Based on the analysis of the technology employed and on the results of 62 blockades of the mandibular nerve adjacent to the foramen ovale, data on the features of the topographic and anatomical structure of the temporal fossa which should be considered is presented.
