T1 and T2 signals of chronic noninvasive aspergillus sinusitis and chronic allergic hypersensitivity aspergillus sinusitis?
hypo T1 and T2
Site of Isolated obstruction of the maxillary sinus?
infunfibulum (of the maxillary ostium)
Combined obstruction of the ipsilateral maxillary, anterior and middle ethmoid, and frontal sinuses?
ostiomeatal pattern of obstruction / hiatus semilunaris (middle meatus)
Where do inverting papillomas occur exclusively?
lateral nasal wall, centered on the hiatus semilunaris
What ca are inverted papillomas associated?
SCC
Retromaxillary pterygopalatine fossa (adjacent to the sphenopalatine foramen) location is a hallmark feature
Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma
High within the nasal vault, involvement of the cribriform plate with extension into
anterior cranial fossa
Esthesioneuroblastoma
Where are minor salivary glands most highly concentrated?
palate
Superior recess of tympanic membrane between the scutum and neck of the malleus, where pars flaccida cholesteatomas arise
Prussak space (medial to pars flaccida - b/w scutum and neck of malleus)
Destructive midline bony mass centered in the clivus with predilection for the
sphenooccipital synchondrosis (horizontal line in the midclivus - sag view)
chordoma
Prior radiation or from malignant transformation of Paget dse
Osteogenic sarcoma
Trabecular coarsening w/o bony destruction
Paget disease
CT moth-eaten destruction /MR salt and pepper signal of jugular fossa
Glomus jugulare
Petrous apex: bright T1, bright T2
Cholesterol granuloma (because of cholesterol and hemorrhage)
Petrous apex: dark T1, bright T2, no enhancememt
retained fluid secretions (fluid signal)
Petrous apex: dark T1, bright T2, ring enhancememt
Petrous apicitis (just like abscess)
Petrous apex: bright T1, dark T2, no enhancement
Nonaerated petrous apex (normal marrow signal)
Early triad of radiographic findings in mucosal space malignancies
- superficial nasopharyngeal mucosal asymmetry
- ipsilateral retropharyngeal adenopathy
- mastoid opacification
Narrow the stylomandibular notch?
carotid space masses
Widen the stylomandibular notch / Push styloid process and carotid vessels posteriorly?
deep parotid space lesions
Danger space?
retropharyngeal space
How do you call paragangliomas arising from Arnold and Jacobson nerves? glomus tympanicum tumors Difference of schwannomas and neurofibromas as carotid space tumors:
schwannomas - encapsulated, do not infiltrate substance of nerve; neurofibromas - not encapsulated, multiple, permeate substance of nerve fibers
Characteristic low-intensity center on T1, involve >1 peripheral nerve
neurofibromas
Which head and neck nodes may normally measure up to 1.5 cm?
jugulodigastric and submandibular nodes
