The buccopharyngeal fascia is a fascia of the pharynx.^[1] It represents the posterior portion of the pretracheal fascia^[2] (visceral fascia).^[3] It covers the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscles, and buccinator muscle.^[4]

Structure

The buccopharyngeal fascia is a thin lamina given off from the pretracheal fascia.^{[citation needed]} It is the portion of the pretracheal fascia situated posterior and lateral to the pharynx. It encloses the entire superior part of the alimentary canal.^[3]

The buccopharyngeal fascia envelops the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscles.^[4]^[1] It extends anteriorly from the constrictor pharyngis superior^[4] over the pterygomandibular raphe to cover the buccinator muscle^[1] (though another source describes it as continuous with the fascia covering the buccinator muscle).^[3]

Attachments

It is attached to the prevertebral fascia by loose connective tissue, with the retropharyngeal space found between them.^{[citation needed]} It may also be attached to the alar fascia posteriorly at C3 and C6 levels.^[5]

Relations

The thyroid gland wraps around the trachea and oesophagus anterior to the buccopharyngeal fascia, so that the lateral parts of the thyroid gland border it.^[6]

The buccopharyngeal fascia runs parallel to the medial aspect of the carotid sheath.^{[citation needed]}
