Pediatric head and neck neuroradiology is a broad and complex topic. This article focuses on several of the common and sometimes challenging pediatric head and neck congenital/developmental anomalies physicians may encounter in clinical practice. Although some diagnoses may be evident on physical examination, others may present a diagnostic dilemma. Patients may initially present with a variety of secondary findings. Imaging serves an important role in making a diagnosis, guiding referral, and in some cases even providing treatment options through interventional radiology. Key diagnostic criteria and critical points of interest for each diagnosis are presented.
