PPF app for iPhone and iPad

The OtoVIS Pterygopalatine Fossa (PPF) module offers an immersive and interactive simulation to explore the complex anatomy of the pterygopalatine fossa. This app is designed for medical professionals and students, providing a comprehensive understanding of the neurovascular structures housed in this challenging area of the skull base.




Key Features:

- Detailed 3D model of the left pterygopalatine fossa
- Contextual placement within the endonasal approach
- Interactive tools to explore anatomical relationships
- Enhanced surgical relevance to expanded endonasal approaches, including the transpterygoid approach and endonasal lateral cavernous sinus approach
- Educational content on the potential routes of spread for neoplastic and infectious processes



This app is an invaluable tool for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of skull base anatomy, whether for educational purposes or clinical practice.
