The retropharyngeal space is a potential route for the spread of infection and malignancy. We present patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx and tongue with superior contiguous spread along the retropharyngeal space resulting in skull base erosion. The fascia defining the retropharyngeal space is attached to the skull base and pathological processes can extend superiorly to destroy the skull base.
咽后间隙是感染和恶性肿瘤扩散的潜在途径。我们报告了患有喉和舌鳞状细胞癌的患者，其病变沿咽后间隙向上连续蔓延，导致颅底侵蚀。界定咽后间隙的筋膜附着于颅底，病理过程可向上延伸以破坏颅底。
