Abstract
This area coincides with the superior part of Robbins level VI. We begin dissection from the top starting from the hyoid bone, which we identify by palpation to distinguish its parts: the body, the greater cornu, and the lesser cornu, the latter being close to the point of insertion of the stylohyoid muscles (Fig. 9.1).
