Latin: fossa infratemporalis
German: Fossa infratemporalis
The fossa infratemporalis is located inferomedial to the zygomatic arch and deep to the messeter muscle and ramus of the mandible. The infra temporalfossa is connected superiorly to the temporal fossa and through the pterygotemporal fissure to the pterygopalatine fossa.
The infratemporal fossa comunicates with the middle cranial fossa via foramen ovale and foramen spinosum and through small foramina with the upper teeth.
