Abstract (EN): Nasopharynx is a particular anatomic structure, located between the respiratory and digestive systems, and it is the geographic centre of all otorinolaringologic pathologies. Numerous filogenic, ontogenic and embryogenic factors contribute to the anatomic and physiologic structure of nasopharynx. These factors may directly contribute to the development of several pathologies, as the embryogenic pathology, or even in an indirect way, through the interaction with the environment, as the inflammatory and neoplastic pathologies, of which the nasopharyngeal carcinoma acquires great significance. The objective of this study was to endorse the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the study of nasopharynx, contributing to a wider knowledge about the different kinds of diseases associated with this anatomic structure.
