Left neck pain, submandibular gland removal 40 years ago, possible carotid stenosis, possible Eagle's, torticollis. There are postoperative findings in the left neck, including absence of the left submandibular gland. There is no evidence of measurable mass lesions or significant cervical lymphadenopathy based on size criteria. The thyroid and remaining salivary glands are unremarkable. The osseous structures are unremarkable. The carotid artery flow voids appear to be grossly intact. The orbits, paranasal sinuses, and imaged intracranial structures are grossly unremarkable.
1. Postoperative findings in the left neck, without evidence of mass lesions.2. MRI is limited for the assessment of Eagle syndrome and CT may be useful for further evaluation.3. The carotid artery flow voids appear to be grossly intact, but the sequences are not intended for evaluating the vasculature. However, Doppler ultrasound, MRA, or CTA is recommended for further assessment of suspected carotid stenosis.
