Abstract
La fosa cigomática, es una zona que se encuentra de manera bilateral, profunda en la parte media de la cara, el cual tiene forma de una pirámide invertida que va estar compuesta por un techo el cual comunica al arco cigomático, una pared lateral que comunica con la rama mandibular, una parte medial que comunica con la lámina lateral de la apófisis pterigoides, una pared anterior que comunica con la tuberosidad del maxilar, y un vértice que se relaciona con la inserción inferior del musculo pterigoideo interno.
En ella encontraremos: músculos de la masticación como el pterigoideo externo que se extiende de la apófisis pterigoides al cuello del cóndilo del maxilar inferior, pterigoideo interno que se extiende desde la fosa pterigoidea hasta el ángulo del maxilar inferior, los plexos venosos, la arteria maxilar interna y algunas de sus ramas, el nervio trigémino o V par craneal, los cuales son componentes muy importantes, porque nos ayudaran a la inervación e irrigación de la cara y en algunos movimientos de la masticación, esta zona es difícil de abordar quirúrgicamente por su ubicación y por su contenido.
The zygomatic fossa is an area that is bilateral, deep in the middle of the face, which is shaped like an inverted pyramid that will be composed of a roof which communicates to the zygomatic arch, a side wall that communicates with the mandibular branch, a medial part that communicates with the lateral lamina of the pterygoid process, an anterior wall that communicates with the tuberosity of the maxilla, and a vertex that is related to the inferior insertion of the internal pterygoid muscle. In it we will find: muscles of mastication such as the external pterygoid which extends from the pterygoid process to the neck of the condyle of the lower jaw, internal pterygoid extending from the pterygoid fossa to the angle of the lower jaw, the venous plexus, the maxillary artery and some of its branches, the trigeminal nerve or V cranial nerve, which are very important components, because they will help us the innervation and irrigation of the face and in some movements of the mastication, this zone is difficult to approach surgically by its location and content. It is important to know each morphological and histological structure of each component, to avoid injuring any of them and to cause the patient some type of injury
