Chapter 12-The Face and Neck
A Thyroid Isthmus that measures greater than
10 mm (indicative of Thyroid Enlargement)
A Normal Lymph Node will not Measure Greater than
10mm
Number of Parathyroid Glands found in the Adult Neck
4
Normal Sonographic Appearance of a Cervical Lymph Node
A Hypoechoic, oblong structure with a distinct echogenic hilum
Diagnostic Findings of a Likely Benign Thyroid Nodule
Anechoic nodule, Eggshell calcification, and hyperechoic nodule
Parathyroid glands Control the Release and Absorption of
Calcium
Vascular Structure Located closest to the Thyroid Lobes
Common carotid artery
Fibromatosis Colli is Associated with
Congenital muscular torticollis
Type of Gland the Thyroid is
Endocrine
The Most Common Cause of Hyperthyroidism
Grave's Disease
A 30 year old patient presents to the sonography department for a thyroid sonogram with a history of weight loss, hair loss, and hyperthyroidism. You note that the patient has bulging eyes. The most likely diagnosis
Grave's disease
The Most Common Cause of Hypothyroidism
Hashimoto Thyroiditis
Sonographic Findings of Malignant Thyroid Nodules
Internal Calcifications, Cervical Node Involvement, and Solitary mass
A 45 year old female patient presents ot the sonography department with a palpable neck mass 6 months following a thyroidectomy for papillary carcinoma. The most likely etiology of the palpable mass is
Lymphadenopathy
An Autoimmune Disease that affects the glands that produce moisture, leading to dysfunction of the salivary glands, and dryness of the eyes, nose, skin, and mouth
Sjogren Syndrome
What muscles are located lateral to each Thyroid lobe
Sternocleidomastoid Muscles
The 1st Branch of the External Carotid Artery
Superior Thyriod Artery
Benign Congenital Cysts located superior to the thyroid gland near the hyoid bone are referred to as
Thyroglossal Duct Cysts
Hormones produced by the Thyroid
Thyroxine Triiodothyronine Calcitonin
The duct that drains the submandibular gland
Wharton Duct
A Cystic mass noted at the Mandibular angle is Most Likely
a Branchial Cleft Cyst
The Thyroid Gland utilizes Iodine
to produce it's hormones
In the Presence of Hasimoto Thyroiditis, the Thyroid Produces
too few thyroid hormones
Abnormality associated with the Sonographic findings of a Thyroid Inferno
Grave's Disease
Sonographic Findings of an Abnormal Lymph Node(more)
Rounded shape, Calcifications, and Enlargement
Stones within the Salviary Duct
Sialolithiasis
Which muscles are located Anterior to the Thyroid gland
Strap muscles
Hormone that is most abundantly produced by the Thyroid
Thyroxine
Cold Nodule
more likely to be a malignant module
Sternocleidomastoid Muscle affected by
mostly Fibromatosis Colli
Psammoma Bodies
punctate calcific deposits
Fluid Produced by the Thyroid Gland that Contains Thyroid Hormones
referred to as Colloid Fluid
Structure that may be confused for a Thyroid for Parathyroid mass because of its relationship to the trachea and the posterior aspect of the Left Thyroid Gland
the Esophagus
Which muscles are located lateral to each thyroid lobe
Longus Colli
The Most Common Form of Salvary Gland Cancer
Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma
The Most Common Form of Thyroid Cancer
Papillary Carcinoma
A patient with hypercalcemia presents to the sonography department for a neck sonogram. What abnormality in the neck should be suspected
Parathyroid Adenoma
Elevation of Serum Calcium is Associated with
Parathyroid Adenoma
The Gland that is Located Immediately Anterior to the Ear
Parotid Gland
The Superior Extension of the Thyroid isthmus
Pyramidal Lobe
