Abstract

This chapter describes an anatomic approach to pathology of the neck. A solid understanding of the anatomic boundaries of the spaces of the neck allows one to elucidate a focused differential diagnosis and evaluate for specific invasion or extension; these insights help the surgeon determine optimal operative management. This chapter will focus on the parapharyngeal, masticator, carotid, and posterior spaces. The parotid, submandibular/sublingual, and pharyngeal mucosal spaces are discussed in detail in other chapters.
