ABSTRACT
The infratemporal fossa abscess is an irregularly shaped cavity, situated below and media to the zygomatic arch. It consists of masseter and nervus vascularis, etc. Comparatively speaking, the low position of the infratemporal fossa has almost freed the patient from dental, nasal,ocular and aural source of pain. So facial acupuncture is more likely to cause the infection. But it is also possible that the patient get cryptogenic infection of maxillofacial cavity, the treatment of which needs further study.
