● Parapharyngeal space is a complex anatomic space of the head and neck where a heterogeneous group of tumors arise ● Clinical management of these lesions has always been challenging, but in the last years it has evolved as a result of technological advances in diagnostic and treatment procedures ● There are different key-points on radiology, pathology, and surgery which should be considered before proposing an optimal approach ● This course is aimed to discuss the state of art for the parapharyngeal tumors management through a two days’ work, a theoretical one and a hands-on surgery second one ● Those surgeons who dominate the parapharyngeal space surgery can deal with most of head and neck surgeries due to the intricate anatomic area ● We think this course will improve the surgical knowledge and skills of head and neck surgery specialists.
