Anatomical terminology [edit on Wikidata]

Thebuccopharyngeal fascia is afascia of thepharynx.^[1] It represents the posterior portion of thepretracheal fascia^[2](visceral fascia).^[3] It covers thesuperior pharyngeal constrictor muscles, andbuccinator muscle.^[4]

Structure

[edit]

The buccopharyngeal fascia is a thin lamina given off from the pretracheal fascia.^{[citation needed]} It is the portion of the pretracheal fascia situated posterior and lateral to the pharynx. It encloses the entire superior part of the alimentary canal.^[3]

The buccopharyngeal fascia envelops thesuperior pharyngeal constrictor muscles.^[4]^[1] It extends anteriorly from theconstrictor pharyngis superior^[4] over thepterygomandibular raphe to cover thebuccinator muscle^[1] (though another source describes it as continuous with the fascia covering the buccinator muscle).^[3]

Attachments

[edit]

It is attached to the prevertebral fascia byloose connective tissue, with theretropharyngeal space found between them.^{[citation needed]} It may also be attached to thealar fascia posteriorly atC3 andC6 levels.^[5]

Relations

[edit]

Thethyroid gland wraps around thetrachea andoesophagus anterior to the buccopharyngeal fascia, so that the lateral parts of the thyroid gland border it.^[6]

The buccopharyngeal fascia runs parallel to the medial aspect of thecarotid sheath.^{[citation needed]}
