Abstract:
In many institutions sonography still is used for evaluation of the thyroid gland and for assessment of sclerotic lesions of the carotid arteries only. The aim of this article is to summarize the potentials and limitations of sonography in the investigation of the extrathyroidal cervical soft tissues. The knowledge of the anatomy of this complex region is mandatory for the investigation of cervical soft tissue lesions.
