"Other terms for the parapharyngeal space include the lateral pharyngeal space, pharyngomaxillary space, and even less commonly pterygomaxillary space, pterygopharyngeal space, peripharyngeal space, and pharyngomasticatory space 1. The term pterygomandibular space has rarely been used for this location, but this term is best reserved for the subcompartment of the masticator space instead."
