For aggressive maxillary sinus and pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) tumors, an en‐bloc pterygomaxillectomy may be indicated.
Methods
Five head specimens were used to study the feasibility of an en‐bloc pterygomaxillectomy. Eighty‐five non‐pathological CT scans were used to compare the superior edge of the inferior turbinate (IT) and the middle turbinate tail (MT) as landmarks for the pterygoid...
