The current study aimed to confirm the presence of the alar fascia and delineate its anatomical characteristics, connections, and potential function through gross dissection and microscopic analysis. Ventrally there was the intercarotid fascia, laterally the alar fascia, and dorsally the prevertebral fascia. Immunohistochemically, the alar fascia was positive in focal areas for SMA and S100 proteins but negative for fast and slow myosin. With anatomic studies highlighting the borders defined by the alar fascia, some authors treat the true retropharyngeal space as part of the visceral space 6. The "Danger space" therefore was limited by fibrous walls on four sides at level of the carotid triangle. Harnsberger HR, Osborn AG. (2015) The Annals of otology, rhinology, and laryngology.
