Abstract
This paper deals with a dissection technique in order to display the nasopharyngeal space. It consists of a parafrontal saw cut through the base of the skull at the level of the sella turcica. In this way the ventral part of the nasopharyngeal space can be separated from the cervical spine and the posterior base of the skull within an anatomically preformed border region. Apart from a comprehensive overview of the nasopharyngeal space, this technique also enables samples to be correctly taken. The time required takes approximately 2-3 min, the external appearance of the deceased is not affected and the preparation of the body is not complicated. © Springer Medizin Verlag GmbH, ein Teil von Springer Nature 2021.Entities:
