upper airway obstruction –> infectious cause? (1)
peritonsillar abscess
choanal atresia –> can be what tissue type? (3)
- osseous
- membranous
- mixed
choanal atresia –> MC tissue type? 2nd MC?
#1 mixed #2 osseous
choanal atresia –> MC assoc synd?
CHARGE synd
CHARGE synd –> synd?
- coloboma
- heart defect
- atresia choanae
- retard of developmt
- GU anomaly
- ear anomaly
Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma –> epidemiology?
adolescent M
Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma –> what is it?
benign hamartomatous lesion –> highly vascular
large invasive nasopharyngeal soft tissue mass –> ddx? (2) how to differentiate?
- juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma –> bony remodeling
- rhabdomyosarcoma –> bony destruction
epiglottitis –> classic XR findings? (2)
- thickened epiglottis (thumbprint sign)
- thickened aryepiglottic folds
croup –> purpose of imaging? why?
clinical dx –> eval for other causes of stridor
aspirated FB is radiolucent –> XR finding of aspirated FB? (1)
air trapping –> persistent expansion on expiration
what is retropharyngeal pseudothickening?
pre-vertebral soft tissues appear thickened:
- neck flexion
- not true lat film
- expiration
neck soft tissue XR –> prevertebral soft tissue thickening –> ddx? (3)
- retropharyngeal cellulitis/abscess
- lymphoma
- duplication cyst
10yo –> steeple sign –> dx?
exudative tracheitis (membranous croup)
exudative tracheitis (membranous croup) –> imaging –> steeple sign –> other imaging findings? (2)
- linear filling defect in trachea
- plaque-like irreg of trachea wall
MC pediatric subglottic tracheal mass
subglottic hemangioma
laryngeal papillomatosis –> possible complication?
seed the lungs –> mult cavitary nodules
what is tracheobronchomalacia?
weak tracheobronchial cartilage –> excessive collapse w expiration
tracheobronchomalacia –> congenital or acquired?
either
what are some causes of acquired tracheobronchomalacia? (3)
- intubation
- infection
- chronic inflamm
tracheobronchomalacia –> imaging finding?
> 50% reduction of airway lumen
stridor –> what is a vascular ring?
aortic arch or great vessels –> completely encircle trachea & esophagus
stridor –> what is a vascular sling?
L pulm A –> arise from R pulm A –> trap trachea in a sling
stridor –> CXR –> what finding gives clue to possible vascular etiology?
R sided aortic arch
