Imaging submandibular pathology in the paediatric patient

T G Kelly et al. Clin Radiol. 2015 Jul.

Abstract

A wide range of pathologies may arise from the submandibular space (SMS) or submandibular gland (SMG) in children. We review herein the normal anatomy of the SMS and describe the role of imaging in the evaluation of SMS lesions. A schematic approach for the categorisation of SMS pathology based on imaging characteristics is provided.
