Abstract

Purpose

Head and neck emergencies in children are frequent cause of visits to the hospital. Imaging plays a critical role in the management of these patients. This review article aims to familiarize radiologists with the common clinical presentations encountered, imaging characteristics of nontraumatic pediatric head and neck emergencies, and improve their ability to recognize associated complications as well as be aware of common mimics.

Methods

We researched our database for commonly encountered nontraumatic head and neck emergencies in children. A literature search was done to compare and complete the list of conditions to be discussed in this review.

Results

The review was organized according to anatomical location of the emergent condition. Relevant anatomy has been discussed along with clinical presentation, imaging characteristics and complications. We have presented common mimics with each set of disorders. Key imaging characteristics have been delineated using radiology images.

Conclusion

Familiarity with the known complications of head and neck emergencies allows the radiologist to actively search for such findings, encourage early institution of appropriate therapy, and improve outcomes.

小儿头颈部急症

目的儿童的头颈部急症是导致儿童到医院就诊的常见原因。影像学在这些患者的治疗中起着至关重要的作用。这篇综述文章旨在让放射科医生熟悉常见的临床表现、非创伤性小儿头颈部急症的影像学特征，提高他们识别相关并发症的能力，并了解常见的模仿病例。我们对数据库中常见的儿童非外伤性头颈部急症进行了研究，并进行了文献检索，以比较和完善本综述要讨论的病症列表。在讨论相关解剖结构的同时，还讨论了临床表现、影像学特征和并发症。我们介绍了每组疾病的常见假象。结论熟悉头颈部急症的已知并发症可以让放射科医生积极寻找此类发现，鼓励尽早采取适当的治疗并改善预后。

期刊介绍： Neuroradiology aims to provide state-of-the-art medical and scientific information in the fields of Neuroradiology, Neurosciences, Neurology, Psychiatry, Neurosurgery, and related medical specialities. Neuroradiology as the official Journal of the European Society of Neuroradiology receives submissions from all parts of the world and publishes peer-reviewed original research, comprehensive reviews, educational papers, opinion papers, and short reports on exceptional clinical observations and new technical developments in the field of Neuroimaging and Neurointervention. The journal has subsections for Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology, Advanced Neuroimaging, Paediatric Neuroradiology, Head-Neck-ENT Radiology, Spine Neuroradiology, and for submissions from Japan. Neuroradiology aims to provide new knowledge about and insights into the function and pathology of the human nervous system that may help to better diagnose and treat nervous system diseases. Neuroradiology is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and follows the COPE core practices. Neuroradiology prefers articles that are free of bias, self-critical regarding limitations, transparent and clear in describing study participants, methods, and statistics, and short in presenting results. Before peer-review all submissions are automatically checked by iThenticate to assess for potential overlap in prior publication.
