In this article, we present a pictorial review computed tomography (CT) anatomy of pterygopalatine fossa and its communications. Since it represents a major pathway for spread of inflammatory or neoplastic disease between the various compartments, being familiar with the high resolution CT appearance of pterygopalatine fossa and its communications is necessary in selected cases. The diagnostic difficulties in determining the intercompartmental spread is discussed.
在本文中，我们展示了翼腭窝及其连通结构的计算机断层扫描（CT）解剖图谱。由于它是炎症或肿瘤性疾病在各个腔隙之间扩散的主要途径，因此在特定病例中，熟悉翼腭窝及其连通结构的高分辨率CT表现是必要的。本文还讨论了确定腔隙间扩散的诊断难点。
