Ultrasonography in the diagnostics of congenital neck cysts
Davorin Đanić
Milan Marinković
Sažetak
The authors have examined the value of ultrasonography in the preoperative diagnostics of congenital bronchial neck cysts in a group of 17 patients. Sonomorphological characteristics of the cysts made the diagnostic results highly reliable and presented ultrasonography as a simple, noninvasive method of determining the topographic relations between the cysts and other important anatomic structures of the neck. The method has no contraindications and enables permanent follow-up of the therapeutic results. The application of this noninvasive method indicates the use of other preoperative diagnostic procedures — such as aspiration biopsy with cytological examination, gammascintigraphy and radiography — only in very specific cases.
