The pterygopalatine fossa is a small, cone-shaped space located deep within the face, behind the upper jaw. It serves as a crucial pathway for nerves and blood vessels that supply the face and nasal cavity. This fossa connects to several important structures, including the maxillary sinus and the nasal cavity. Within the pterygopalatine fossa, the pterygopalatine ganglion is found, which plays a key role in the autonomic nervous system. The fossa is bordered by the maxilla, palatine bone, and sphenoid bone, making it an important anatomical landmark for dental and surgical procedures in the region.
