Soft tissue neck radiographs are commonly requested in ED either to look of foreign bodies (e.g. fish bone) or, particularly in kids, to assess retropharyngeal abscesses or upper airways infections (e.g. croup and epiglottitis).

Normal examination. Prevertebral soft tissues are within normal limits. No radiopaque foreign body.

2024年10月14日 · the patient will have the neck in the extended (chin up) or flexion (chin down) position depending on the projection.

2024年3月15日 · This article lists examples of normal imaging of the pediatric patients divided by region, modality, and age.

2024年11月19日 · Lateral soft tissue radiograph of the neck demonstrates thickening of the epiglottis and aryepiglottic folds referred to as the thumb sign. It should be noted that an omega epiglottis, either a variant of normal or in the setting of laryngomalacia, can result in a similar appearance and can be mistaken for epiglottitis.

2024年12月8日 · The lateral neck x-ray is the main imaging study. The size of the adenoids is less of a consideration than the degree to which they encroach on the nasopharyngeal airway: if no adenoidal tissue after age 6 months, suspect an immune deficiency; if enlarged adenoids persist well after childhood, suspect lymphatic malignancy; Treatment and prognosis

The anatomy that Matt chooses to focus on is particularly useful from an interpretation perspective, like appreciating the normal anteroinferior margin of the vertebral body on the lateral projection and the normal airway outline on the AP projection.

2024年10月17日 · Normal thickness. In general, the prevertebral component is measured on sagittal imaging as the distance between the anterior border of the vertebral body and the air within the pharynx/trachea. Naturally there is a near-normal distribution of thickness in normal patients depending on body build and expected variation.

2023年1月10日 · steeple sign (also known as "wine bottle sign" and "inverted V sign"): seen on AP radiographs of the neck or chest and neck demonstrates uniform narrowing of the subglottic airway. distension of the hypopharynx is also seen due to the patient's attempt at decreasing airway resistance.
