Background
The head and neck is prone to diverse infective/inflammatory,
malignant and endocrine pathology.
Many conditions have been studied by prominent physicians whose names they bear.
Increased availability and quality of imaging studies has resulted in better and more accurate diagnosis,
treatment and follow up.
Five eponymous ENT cases and their accompanying imaging (US,
CT,
MR and NM) will be presented to demonstrate classical ENT pathology.
Specific learning points and radiological signs will be provided for each case.
This will demonstrate the importance of multi-modality imaging in diagnosis of these eponymous conditions and make the reader aware of trademark radiological signs.
Cases include: Hashimoto's thyroiditis; Graves' disease; Lemierre's disease; Wermer's syndrome (MEN 1); and Gradenigo's syndrome.
