Q

What important about the pterygopalatine ganglion?

A
  • Activates muscles of mastication AND the tensor tympani, tensor veli palatini, mylohyoid and anterior belly of digastric

Helpful with TMJ and has influence in swallowing and speech in children

Q

What is the clinical correlation with the ear and temporal bone?

A
  • Otitis media –> Involves impaired drainage of the eustachian tube and improving drainage clears infections faster
  • ETD –> fluid provides a breeding ground for infection and also reduces motion of TM for hearing
