“…[2] This complex space is anatomically surrounded by numerous structures[3] and divided by the styloid process into the pre- and post-styloid spaces. [4] The rationale behind this subdivision is that the different structures occupying these subspaces can be the source of various tumors with an anatomic space of origin suggestive of their nature.…”
