Preface
Head and neck radiology has always been considered a challenging imaging territory. This largely stems from inadequate exposure in this field. Case in-point , how many residents go through a dedicated “head and neck radiology” rotation during residency? In addition, the supposedly complex anatomy of this region makes head and neck radiology appear daunting. However, a focused systematic approach as outlined in this case collection, can make head and neck radiology explicable and interesting.
Toward this end are presented a wide array of common, and some uncommon pathologies. Consider reading a few cases a day, and in a short period of time, you will become much more comfortable with the subject.
This text, like the other volumes in the Expert Radiology Series , has been designed to exemplify key concepts in imaging in a proven easy-to-digest case-based format. It does not provide an exhaustive review of head and neck radiology. It focuses on the salient imaging features. For a more comprehensive discussion on the subject, the reader is referred to texts such as Head and Neck Imaging by Som and Curtin.
There are 14 sections in this volume, each of which deals with a particular anatomic region such as orbit, nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, facial trauma, etc. Cases presented in each of these sections have been organized in a particular format providing clinical history, illustrative images, and a concise discussion of that particular entity including background information, characteristic radiologic findings, and discussion of differential diagnosis. A suggested reading section provides the reader with appropriate reference material.
Images are the very essence of radiology. Keeping this in mind, this book provides more than 600 carefully selected images, obtained largely from the Interesting Case Collection (otherwise known as the Som collection) of Mount Sinai Medical Center, one of the premier institutions of otolaryngology in the country.
While the book has been designed specifically for radiology and otolaryngology residents, as well as neuroradiology Fellows, it should also prove to be of great value in honing the interpretational skills of all practicing head and neck radiologists.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my mentors par excellence Drs. Som and Naidich, who despite their busy schedule provided me with invaluable tips, and without whose help, this book would never have been complete.
It is my genuine hope that this book will be informative and instructive. I will consider my efforts worthwhile only if you, the reader, find it useful. Feedback is important and will be much appreciated.
Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for ~ Socrates

Girish M. Fatterpekar
My deepest gratitude to my mentors whose guidance only helped me better myself. In particular, I would like to thank Burton Drayer, Thomas Naidich, Peter Som, Mauricio Castillo, Suresh Mukherji, Manu Shroff, and Ravi Ramakantan. Neuroradiology including Head and Neck radiology would never have been as exciting and enriching without your teaching.
I also want to acknowledge the staff at Elsevier for their patience and support in making this text possible, especially Rebecca Gaertner, Pamela Hetherington and Lora Sickora. It was a pleasure working with you.
In Memorium
This book is dedicated to Prashant Shetty, neuroradiologist extraordinaire, a mentor and colleague dearly missed.
