Cervical lung protrusions in children are typically benign anatomical variants, often resolving spontaneously. Persistent cases may require monitoring for clinical significance.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Radiology
  • Thoracic Imaging
  • Anatomical Variants

Background:

  • Cervical lung protrusions present diagnostic challenges in pediatric imaging.
  • Two types exist: true herniation (rare, trauma-related) and simple protrusion (common, variant).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the characteristics of simple cervical lung protrusions in children.
  • To review the literature on pediatric cervical lung protrusions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 54 pediatric patients with incidental simple lung protrusions on lateral neck roentgenograms.
  • Literature search for previously reported cases of cervical lung protrusions in children.

Main Results:

  • Simple lung protrusions are common incidental findings in pediatric lateral neck X-rays.

  • Most cases are considered normal variants and resolve spontaneously in early childhood.
  • A minority of cases may persist and potentially become clinically significant.

    • Conclusions:

    • Simple cervical lung protrusions are generally benign and self-limiting in children.
    • Distinguishing simple protrusions from true herniation is crucial for appropriate management.
    • Further investigation may be warranted for persistent or enlarging protrusions.
