Abstract:
The authors describe C.T. appearances of the second branchial cleft cysts. After embryological review, they report three demonstrative observations and present the usual C.T. findings: latero cervical tumors, anterior to the sterno-cleidomastoid muscle, posterior to the submandibular gland, external to the jugulo carotidian vessels, of cystical aspect. Only the capsule is enhanced by contrast medium. C.T. brings useful informations for differential diagnosis with other cystical masses of the neck.

01:10Computed Tomography
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
