Brief Summary:
It has been widely accepted that a split of the deep temporal fascia occurs approximately 2 to 3 cm above the zygomatic arch, named the superficial and deep layers. The deep layer of the deep temporal fascia lies between superficial temporal fat pad and the temporal muscle. However, during the investigators' previous surgeries, the investigators did not find the deep layer of the deep temporal fascia between superficial temporal fat pad and the temporal muscle. This study was conducted to clarify the presence or absence of the deep layer of the deep temporal fascia. And the investigators' clinical study has confirmed the absence of the deep layer of the deep temporal fascia between superficial temporal fat pad and the temporal muscle.
Detailed Description:
The anatomic layers of soft tissues of the temporal region, with regard to the deep temporalis fascia, was investigated in 169 cases operated upon with zygomaticofacial or craniofacial fractures using the supratemporalis approach from June 2013 to June 2017. Among 167 surgeries, this so-called "deep layer of the deep temporalis fascia" was not observed. In fact, the superficial temporal fat pad is closely attached to temporal muscle above the zygomatic arch.
