Radiology Flashcards
T1 hyperintense CPA mass
Cholesterol granuloma
Lipoma
Schwannoma and meningioma enhance but not T1 hyperintense at baseline. Cholesterol granuloma is without enhancement.
Where are thyroglossal duct cysts found?
Embedded in the strap muscles
50% at hyoid
25% above hyoid
25% below hyoid
What is seen on MRI for shwannoma?
High T2
Intermediate T1
Enhancing
Significance of Haller & Agger nasi cells
Haller can obstruct maxillary ostomy
Agger nasi can obstruct frontoethmoidal recess
What are the corresponding ducts to the major salivary glands?
Parotid = Stenson's Submandibular = Wharton's
Which salivary glad is more likely to have a sialolith?
Submandibular (85%; drains uphill)
Parotid has 15%
What are the metastatic adenopathy qualitative criteria?
Spherical shape
Loss of central fatty hilum
Central hypodensity (necrosis)
What are the size criteria for metastatic LAD?
> 8mm for retropharyngeal nodes
10mm most nodes
15mm for submental, submandibular, and jugulodigastric
Where are dermoids typically located?
Submental
Submaxillary
Nasal
What are the three types of LeFort fractures?
Le Fort 1 is a floating palate
Le Fort 2 is a floating maxilla
Le Fort 3 is a floating face (craniofacial dissociation)
Fractures causing a LeFort I
Extend from inferolateral pyriform aperture to pterygoid plates (below zygoma)
Horizontal fracture line
Fractures causing a LeFort II
Nasal bones through orbital floor & anterior maxillary sinus, under the zygoma & through pterygoid plates
Pyramidal fracture line
Fractures causing a LeFort III
Nasal bones, medial orbit, orbital floor, lateral orbit, zygoma, and pterygoid plates
Transverse fracture line
What type of LeFort fracture is most common?
Type II > Type I > Type III
What causes silent sinus syndrome
Chronic maxillary sinusitis, bony thinning, suction on maxillary wall
All leads to collapse of the maxillary sinus with lateralized uncinate & expanded middle turbinate. Usually opacified.
