StarStarStarStar

Maxillary Sinusitis

StarStarStarStar

Mucosal thickening, air-fluid levels, and opacification of the sinus

StarStarStarStar

Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

StarStarStarStar

Soft-tissue mass in the nasopharynx, bone destruction, and potential cervical lymphadenopathy

StarStarStarStar

Multiple Sclerosis

StarStarStarStar

Multiple white matter lesions, often periventricular, with Dawson’s fingers appearance on MRI

StarStarStarStar

Mastoiditis

StarStarStarStar

Opacification and coalescent destruction of the mastoid air cells, can cause a periosteal reaction

StarStarStarStar

Epiglottitis

StarStarStarStar

Thickened aryepiglottic folds, 'thumbprint' sign of the swollen epiglottis on lateral neck X-ray

StarStarStarStar

Cerebral Aneurysm

StarStarStarStar

Saccular outpouching noted particularly near arterial branch points, may have calcification

StarStarStarStar

Carotid Stenosis

StarStarStarStar

Narrowing of the carotid artery lumen with or without calcified plaques on Doppler ultrasound

StarStarStarStar

Dental Abscess

StarStarStarStar

Periapical radiolucency, may see loss of the lamina dura and spread to surrounding bone

StarStarStarStar

Glomus Jugulare Tumor

StarStarStarStar

StarStarStarStar

Thyroiditis

StarStarStarStar

Heterogeneous gland with increased vascularity on Doppler ultrasound

StarStarStarStar

Orbital Cellulitis

StarStarStarStar

Inflammation of the eye tissues, with proptosis, fat stranding, and thickened extraocular muscles

StarStarStarStar

Bell's Palsy

StarStarStarStar

MRI may show enhancement of the facial nerve, though often imaging is normal

StarStarStarStar

Laryngeal Cancer

StarStarStarStar

Irregular mass in the larynx, may cause airway narrowing or vocal cord paralysis

StarStarStarStar

Tonsillitis

StarStarStarStar

Tonsillar hypertrophy and enhancement on contrast-enhanced CT, possible peritonsillar abscess formation

StarStarStarStar

Meningioma

StarStarStarStar

Extra-axial, dural-based mass with homogenous enhancement, often with a 'dural tail' on MRI

StarStarStarStar

Acoustic Neuroma

StarStarStarStar

Homogenously enhancing mass on MRI at the cerebellopontine angle

StarStarStarStar

Sinonasal Polyposis

StarStarStarStar

Soft tissue masses in the sinonasal cavities, with a characteristic teardrop-shaped appearance on imaging

StarStarStarStar

Stroke (Cerebrovascular Accident)

StarStarStarStar

Acute: Diffusion restriction on MRI; Chronic: Cerebral atrophy and hypoattenuation on CT

StarStarStarStar

Temporal Arteritis

StarStarStarStar

Enlarged, hypoechoic halo around the temporal artery on ultrasound, non-compression sign

StarStarStarStar

Sialolithiasis

StarStarStarStar

Calcified stone within a salivary gland or duct, hyperechoic foci on ultrasound with posterior acoustic shadowing

StarStarStarStar

Hypertensive Encephalopathy

StarStarStarStar

Bilateral symmetrical white matter edema, typically in the parieto-occipital regions on MRI

StarStarStarStar

Thyroid Nodule

StarStarStarStar

Well-defined hypoechoic lesion on ultrasound, may see calcifications or central vascularity

StarStarStarStar

Parotid Gland Tumor

StarStarStarStar

May see a circumscribed mass in the parotid region, often with heterogeneous enhancement

StarStarStarStar

Pituitary Adenoma

StarStarStarStar

Intrasellar mass that may extend to the suprasellar cistern with homogeneous or heterogeneous enhancement

StarStarStarStar

Chiari Malformation

StarStarStarStar

Caudal displacement of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum on MRI

StarStarStarStar

Osteomyelitis of the Jaw

StarStarStarStar

Mixed lytic and sclerotic lesions in the mandible, may have a periosteal reaction and soft tissue swelling

StarStarStarStar

Ludwig's Angina

StarStarStarStar

Diffuse soft tissue swelling in the submandibular space with possible airway compromise

StarStarStarStar

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

StarStarStarStar

Normal imaging; diagnosis is clinical and based on the Dix-Hallpike maneuver

StarStarStarStar

Vertebral Metastases

StarStarStarStar

Lytic or sclerotic lesions within the vertebral bodies, potentially with a soft-tissue component
