Imaging of the infrahyoid neck.
The infrahyoid neck is a complex region of anatomy and pathology. The spatial division of the infrahyoid neck into six discrete spaces is accomplished by three layers of the deep cervical fascia. Once understood, the pathologic processes in this region can be better characterized. Additionally, this article includes the anatomy and pathology of the thyroid and parathyroid glands and the brachial plexus.
