Abstract

The vast array of acute nontraumatic diseases encountered in the head and neck of pediatric patients can be intimidating for radiologists in training in a fast-paced emergency setting. Although there is some overlap of pediatric and adult diseases, congenital lesions and developmental variants are much more common in the pediatric population. Furthermore, the relative incidences of numerous infections and neoplasms differ between pediatric and adult populations. Young patients and/or those with developmental delays may have clinical histories that are difficult to elicit or nonspecific presentations, underscoring the importance of imaging in facilitating accurate and timely diagnoses. It is essential that radiologists caring for children be well versed in pediatric nontraumatic head and neck emergency imaging. The authors provide an on-call resource for radiology trainees, organized by anatomic location and highlighting key points, pearls, pitfalls, and mimics of many acute nontraumatic diseases in the pediatric head and neck. ©RSNA, 2024 Supplemental material is available for this article.

非外伤性小儿头颈部急症：放射科值班医生资源。

对于在快节奏急诊环境中接受培训的放射科医生来说，在儿科患者头颈部遇到的大量急性非创伤性疾病可能会让他们望而生畏。虽然儿科疾病与成人疾病有一些重叠，但先天性病变和发育变异在儿科人群中更为常见。此外，许多感染和肿瘤的相对发病率在儿科人群和成人人群中也有所不同。年幼的患者和/或发育迟缓的患者可能有难以询问的临床病史或非特异性表现，这就凸显了影像学在促进准确及时诊断方面的重要性。放射科医生必须精通儿科非外伤性头颈部急诊成像。作者为放射科见习生提供了一个随叫随到的资源，按解剖位置编排，突出了小儿头颈部许多急性非创伤性疾病的要点、珍珠、陷阱和模拟病例。©RSNA，2024 这篇文章有补充材料。

期刊介绍： Launched by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in 1981, RadioGraphics is one of the premier education journals in diagnostic radiology. Each bimonthly issue features 15–20 practice-focused articles spanning the full spectrum of radiologic subspecialties and addressing topics such as diagnostic imaging techniques, imaging features of a disease or group of diseases, radiologic-pathologic correlation, practice policy and quality initiatives, imaging physics, informatics, and lifelong learning. A special issue, a monograph focused on a single subspecialty or on a crossover topic of interest to multiple subspecialties, is published each October. Each issue offers more than a dozen opportunities to earn continuing medical education credits that qualify for AMA PRA Category 1 CreditTM and all online activities can be applied toward the ABR MOC Self-Assessment Requirement.
