ABSTRACT
The maxilary nerve can be block in the pterygopalatine fossa, entering from oral cavity via greater palatine canal. The aim of this study was to analyse the volume of the pterygopalatine fossa and its relationship with upper facial height and cephalic indexes. In 71 human adults skulls, without sex distinction, was determined the volume of the pterygopalatine fossa and cephalic and upper facial height indexes. Through a t test (p < 0.05) were compared the average volume between cephalic and facial types. The average volume of the pterygopalatine fossa was 1.2 mi (DS 0.297), were not found differences according to the cephalic or facial type.
RESUMEN
El nervio maxilar puede ser bloqueado en la fosa pterigopalatina, ingresando desde la cavidad oral vía canal palatino mayor. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el volumen de la fosa y su relación con los índices cefálico y facial superior. Se utilizaron 71 cráneos humanos adultos, sin distinción de sexo. Se determinó el volumen de la fosa pterigopalatina y los índices cefálico y facial superior. Mediante una prueba t (p < 0.05) se compararon las medias del volumen entre los tipos cefálicos y faciales. El volumen medio de la fosa fue de 1.2 mi (DS 0.297), no se encontraron diferencias de acuerdo al tipo cefálico o facial.
