Synonym: fissura orbitalis inferior, sphenomaxillary fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sphenomaxillary fossa | Sphenomaxillary fossa, a small pyramidal space, housing the pterygopalatine ganglion, between the pterygoid process, the maxilla, and the palatine bone. Synonym: fossa pterygopalatina, Bichat's fossa, pterygomaxillary fossa, sphenomaxillary fossa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sphenomaxillary suture | An inconstant suture between the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone and the body of the maxilla. Synonym: sutura sphenomaxillaris. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: Sluder's neuralgia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sphenopalatine notch | The deep notch between the orbital and sphenoidal processes of the palatine bone which is converted into the foramen of the same name by the undersurface of the sphenoid bone. Synonym: incisura sphenopalatina. (05 Mar 2000) |
