Anatomy
Head and Neck
Pterygoid Venous Plexus
Anatomy / Head and Neck / Infratemporal Fossa
Last Updated: 12th February 2019
The pterygoid venous plexus is a network of veins between the medial and lateral pterygoid muscles, and between the lateral pterygoid and temporalis muscles.
It receives tributaries from veins draining regions supplied by the maxillary artery (i.e. the nasal cavity, roof and lateral wall of the oral cavity, all teeth, muscles of the infratemporal fossa, paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx). In addition the inferior ophthalmic veins from the orbit can drain through the inferior orbital fissure into the pterygoid plexus.
Small emissary veins often connect the pterygoid plexus in the infratemporal fossa with the cavernous sinus in the cranial cavity. This gives a route of spread of infection into the cranial cavity. Also, as there are no valves in the veins of the head and neck, anaesthetic inadvertently injected under pressure into the veins of the pterygoid plexus can backflow into tissues or into the cranial cavity.
The pterygoid plexus connects posteriorly with the retromandibular vein in the neck (via a short maxillary vein) and anteriorly with the facial vein on the face (via a deep facial vein).
