Abstract

The spectrum of congenital and infantile masses of the head and neck is broad, including developmental and neoplastic entities. The diseases encountered in this vulnerable patient population differ substantially from those in older children and adults. Familiarity with the types of encountered masses, typical imaging characteristics, and expected clinical course is critical for radiologists who care for pregnant women (fetuses) and infants. This knowledge allows radiologists to provide a timely diagnosis and appropriate follow-up imaging recommendations and, in some fetal imaging cases, inform delivery planning. This article uses a location-based approach to highlight imaging features of numerous common and rare congenital and infantile masses of the head and neck. ^©RSNA, 2024 Supplemental material is available for this article.

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.
