文摘

The lateral neck radiograph is widely utilized for the evaluation of common neck conditions in the emergency department. The anatomy of the neck is complex and it can be difficult to differentiate between soft tissue structures on a lateral radiograph. We suggest a schematic pattern of interpreting the lateral neck radiograph with case images of various pathologies that can present in the emergency setting. Keywords Neck radiograph Fish bone Foreign body Tonsillitis Retropharyngeal abscess Retropharyngeal goiter
