This review covers masticator space anatomy and lesion localization using cross-sectional imaging. It details appearances of various inflammatory, neoplastic, developmental, and vascular lesions, including benign mimics.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Anatomy
  • Pathology

Background:

  • The masticator space is a complex anatomical region in the head and neck.
  • Accurate localization of lesions within this space is crucial for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the anatomy of the masticator space.
  • To discuss the imaging appearances of various masticator space lesions on cross-sectional imaging.
  • To differentiate pathological processes from benign mimics.

Main Methods:

  • Review of cross-sectional imaging (MRI and CT) findings.
  • Correlation with anatomical structures.
  • Illustration of diverse pathologies.

Main Results:

  • Detailed description of masticator space anatomy.
  • Characteristic imaging features of inflammatory, neoplastic, developmental, and vascular lesions are presented.
  • Mimicking benign conditions and normal variations are also discussed.

Conclusions:

  • Cross-sectional imaging is essential for evaluating masticator space lesions.
  • Understanding the anatomy and spectrum of pathologies aids in accurate diagnosis.
  • Distinguishing true pathology from mimics improves patient management.
