The suprahyoid neck: normal and pathological anatomy

The suprahyoid neck can be divided into fascia-bound spaces. These spaces, which are readily demonstrated on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), form the anatomical framework for generating differential diagnosis and assessing disease extent. By correlating the radiologica...

Description
Summary:The suprahyoid neck can be divided into fascia-bound spaces. These spaces, which are readily demonstrated on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), form the anatomical framework for generating differential diagnosis and assessing disease extent. By correlating the radiological features with clinical information, the diagnostic possibilities of demonstrated lesions could be narrowed down considerably. Multiple space involvement is common in inflammatory and neoplastic processes and the full extent of these lesions should be outlined to facilitate surgical or radiotherapy planning.
