The superficial temporal and the deep temporal spaces are sometimes together called the temporal spaces. The masticator spaces are paired structures on either side of the head. The muscles of mastication are enclosed in a layer of fascia, formed by cervical fascia ascending from the neck which divides at the inferior border of the mandible to ...
Direct revascularization is also known as EC-IC bypass because it involves directly connecting an extracranial artery outside the brain to an intracranial artery inside the brain. This is also sometimes called STA-MCA bypass because the superficial temporal artery and the middle cerebral artery are the most commonly used arteries for the ...
