Lymphatic5
  • It provides a major drainage path for lymphatic fluids and generally drains into the throat, nose or ears. (healthline.com)
  • In the last 3 decades, progressive advances have occurred in the understanding of cervical fascial planes, lymphatic drainage patterns, preoperative staging, and extracapsular spread. (medscape.com)
  • The main goal of this procedure was to remove, en bloc, all ipsilateral lymphatic structures from the mandible superiorly to the clavicle inferiorly and from the strap muscles to the anterior border of the trapezius. (medscape.com)
  • Erysipelas has a predilection for individuals at the extremes of age, debilitated patients, and those with poor lymphatic drainage. (logicalimages.com)
  • Clinically important bacteremia can occur when the bloodstream is seeded with high numbers of bacteria via venous and lymphatic drainage from sites of infections. (veteriankey.com)
Mucosa of the nasopharynx2
  • the wider medial end lies under the mucosa of the nasopharynx and raises the mucosa to form the tubal elevation (torus tubarius). (medscape.com)
  • in one of these patients the histological evidence was found in the mucosa of the nasopharynx. (bvsalud.org)
Soft palate4
Posterior4
  • It communicates with the external environment via the anterior apertures, nares, and the nasopharynx via the posterior apertures, choanae. (nih.gov)
  • Adenoids are a subepithelial collection of lymphoid tissue, which is present at the junction of the roof and posterior wall of the nasopharynx . (drsanu.com)
  • By around 4-6 weeks of gestational age, lymphoid tissues can be identified with in mucus membrane of roof and posterior wall of nasopharynx. (drsanu.com)
  • Posteriorly, the nasal cavity communicates with the nasopharynx, which in many respects may be regarded as the posterior portion of the cavity. (dartmouth.edu)
Secretions3
  • The nasal cavity also functions to facilitate drainage for the secretions from the adjacent paranasal sinuses. (nih.gov)
  • Due to choanal obstruction, normal nasal secretions cannot drain into nasopharynx. (drsanu.com)
  • For chronic, medical therapy is often considered an adjunct to surgical treatment and is directed toward controlling predisposing factors, treating concomitant infections, reducing edema of sinus tissues, and facilitating the drainage of sinus secretions. (drkennypang.com)
Venous Drainage2
  • Venous drainage to IJV and Facial vein. (drsanu.com)
  • During the procedure angiography guidence showed contrast stagnation within the lesion and lack of fast venous drainage. (entcase.org)
Mucus4
  • It aerates the middle ear system and clears mucus from the middle ear into the nasopharynx. (medscape.com)
  • Mucociliary clearance drains mucus away from the middle ear into the nasopharynx, thus preventing infection from ascending to the middle ear. (medscape.com)
  • The sinuses produce a large amount of mucus daily, and this mucus drains through small openings (ostia) into the nasal cavity where it is swept back into the nasopharynx and down into the throat (esophagus) where it is swallowed. (ctsinuscenter.com)
  • When the sinuses become inflamed, blocked or swollen, normal mucus drainage may not occur trapping air and other fluids, creating vacuums and/or pressure. (ctsinuscenter.com)
Oropharynx5
Nasolacrimal duct2
Nares1
Hypopharynx1
Sinuses5
  • Sinusitis is the inflammation/infection of 1 or more paranasal sinuses and occurs when there is obstruction of the normal sinus drainage mechanism. (drkennypang.com)
  • Diseases that obstruct the drainage of the sinuses can result in a reduced ability of the paranasal sinuses to drain fluid out and function normally. (drkennypang.com)
  • An upper respiratory tract infection (flu, common cold) or severe allergic rhinitis leading to obstruction of the ostia (openings of the sinuses) and stasis (stagnation) of drainage often precedes it. (drkennypang.com)
  • For some patients, the crooked septum can interfere with the drainage of the sinuses, resulting in repeated sinus infections. (northdallasent.com)
  • Each of the sinuses has a unique drainage pattern, but the frontal, maxillary and part of the ethmoid (anterior ethmoids) sinuses all drain into a central region known as the middle meatus. (ctsinuscenter.com)
Respiratory3
  • The nasopharynx remains open even when surrounding muscles flex so that the person can continue to carry on respiratory functions. (healthline.com)
  • A viral respiratory multi-panel from the nasopharynx and extensive serologic and molecular pathologic workup serologies resulted negative. (clinmedjournals.org)
  • 1 The most common viral pathogens include RSV, influenza viruses, adenovirus, and picornavirus.1 Following a viral respiratory infection, an inflammatory process usually occurs involving the mucosa of the nose, nasopharynx, and Eustachian tube. (weilab.com)
Nasal congestion1
Nose3
Connects the middle ear3
Lesions2
  • In extensive lesions extending into the nasopharynx, middle ear effusion is common. (medscape.com)
  • Movement disorders, aplastic crises in all lesions in the nasopharynx but otherwise fit adults unless the patient's wishes are breech delivery. (spiderguardtek.com)
Throat2
Cavity1
  • It consists of 2 portions, a lateral third (12 mm), which is a bony portion arising from the anterior wall of the tympanic cavity, and a medial two thirds (24 mm), which is a fibrocartilaginous portion entering the nasopharynx. (medscape.com)
Bilaterally2
  • Postoperative MRI of the head demonstrated residual tumor involving the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone bilaterally, the basisphenoid, left pterygopalatine fossa, nasopharynx and inferior turbinate. (appliedradiationoncology.com)
  • On anterior rhinoscopy, the septum was noted to be straight anteriorly, but appeared to be deviated bilaterally, flaring into the nasopharynx and obstructing the airway. (scirp.org)
Tumors1
  • For adults, benign tumors of the nasopharynx such as juvenile angiofibroma, hemangioma, hemangiomapericytoma should be considered for differential diagnosis. (entcase.org)
Antimicrobial2
Eustachian tube1
Mucosal1
  • Bacteremia develops as a normal but transient phenomenon whenever bacteria-laden mucosal surfaces, such as the nasopharynx, GI, and genital mucosae, are traumatized. (veteriankey.com)
Chronic1
Symptoms1
  • Otitis media typically causes symptoms of ear pain, drainage of fluid from the ear, and trouble hearing. (weilab.com)
Tubal1
  • The nasopharynx is surrounded by the salpingopharyngeal fold and tubal tonsils, which can become inflamed when infected. (healthline.com)
Fossa1
  • The nasopharynx is 2 to 3 cm wide and 3 to 4 cm long and situated behind the nasal fossa inside the occipital bone. (healthline.com)
Fluid1
  • Contraction of the orbicularis muscle during blinking causes alternate positive and negative pressures in the lacrimal sac, forming the lacrimal 'pump' which facilitates the drainage of excess lacrimal fluid. (trbchemedica.co.uk)
Excess1
  • However, individuals should start looking for other signs of earwax buildup if they notice an excess of drainage from the ear. (healthyhearingclub.net)
Middle1
Tissue1
  • I emphasize the importance of aural toileting, that means taking toilet paper or KleenexTM , twirling it into tiny 1-2 cm "wicks", and putting that gently into the canal for a few seconds so that the nasty drainage is absorbed onto the tissue. (fauquierent.net)
Upper1
  • [ 1 ] The submandibular nodes (level I) and upper deep jugular lymph nodes (level II) are the first echelon of nodal drainage. (medscape.com)
Space1
  • Two weeks after resection, the patient developed right visual loss due to optic nerve encasement and purulence within the epidural space, and a transnasal endoscopic drainage of an epidural abscess was performed. (appliedradiationoncology.com)
