Zystische Halsläsionen im Schnittbild

Zusammenfassung

Zystische Läsionen sind in der Halsbildgebung relativ häufig. Es kommen verschiedene angeborene oder erworbene Veränderungen als Ursache infrage, die primär mit Ultraschall, aber auch mit CT und MRT und ggf. auch bioptisch analysiert werden sollten, um die adäquate Therapie einleiten zu können. In diesem Beitrag werden die bildgebenden Kriterien dieser zystischen Läsionen dargestellt.

Abstract

Cystic lesions are relatively common in neck imaging. There are different cystic lesions that can be classified according to their location in the neck spaces or their origin (congenital or acquired). The primary imaging modality is mostly the ultrasound, but the CT and MRT are usually needed in deep or complicated cases for the proper assessment of the extent, solid parts and the effect on the surroundings. Imaging guided biopsy may be needed in certain cases before initiating the appropriate therapy.
