Pediatric Head and Neck Radiology: Selected Cases

Abstract

The aim of the this article is to give brief overview of a few classic pediatric head and neck disease processes, including congenital malformations, neoplasms, and inflammatory sequelae. Radiologists should be familiar with the imaging characteristics, associated clinical scenario and differential diagnoses of these entities to ensure proper management.
