Where is Masticator space?

The masticator space is situated laterally to the medial pterygoid fascia and medially to the masseter muscle. It is bounded by the sphenoid bone, the posterior aspect of the mandible, and the zygomatic arch. It lies inferiorly to the temporal space and is anterolateral to the parapharyngeal space.

What is a Masticator?

A masticator is similar to a wood chipper, it is mounted on an excavator type tractor, which moves through the forest to grind or chip trees and brush, leaving the chips behind. The masticator head, often termed the cutting head, is usually mounted horizontally, as is the case with our equipment.

Which two nerves blocked when injection is given in pterygomandibular space?

The masticator space is a deep facial space that is outlined by the superficial layer of the deep cervical fascia and lies laterally and evenly in front of the prestyloid space, medial to the pharyngeal space and beneath the skull base.

What makes up the Masticator space?

Background. The masticator space contains the mastication muscles, ramus of the mandible, and mandibular nerve. Because clinical assessment of lesions in this space may be difficult, CT and MR imaging is important for the characterisation and mapping of the pathology.

What is Gow-Gates numb?

Successful Anaesthesia: Gow-Gates Tingling and numbness of the tongue on that side indicates lingual nerve anaesthesia. In addition, with the Gow-Gates block, we anaesthetize the auriculotemporal nerve and, therefore, the skin anterior and superior to the ear will feel a loss of sensation.
