Copyn^ht,l83l_.by George Mc Clei.lan^M D THE REGION OF THE PAROTID GLAND. 133 The gland is therefore in a measure enclosed in a fascial envelope. Thisis normally very thin over the deeper parts, but when the gland is affected■with any chronic morbid enlargement it is thickened, and may be thenmore properly regarded as a sac. There is, furthermore, a peculiar in-vagination of the deep cervical fascia between the anterior surface of thestyloid process and the posterior border of the external pterygoid muscle,which reaches to the wall of the pharynx, so that in post-pharyngealabscess there is often an external swelling in the parotid region. Inseveral cases in the authors experience, where the pharyngeal abscesswas so large that it was feared the evacuation of the pus through directincision by the mouth might lead to suffocation by its entering the glottis,external drainage was established by careful dissection
