  • Title: Imaging of Perineural Spread in Head and Neck Cancer.
    Author: Badger D, Aygun N.
    Journal: Radiol Clin North Am; 2017 Jan; 55(1):139-149. PubMed ID: 27890182.
    Abstract:
    Perineural spread (PNS) of tumor is a recognized pattern of metastasis occurring in the head and neck. Imaging plays a critical role in identifying PNS for adequate staging and treatment planning. Understanding the major branches and pathways of cranial nerves V and VII, key anatomic landmarks, interconnections between these nerves, and pearls and pitfalls of PNS imaging can aid in early detection, appropriate therapy, and the best possible chance for cure.
