7 Sonography oftheOropharynx, Hypopharynx, Larynx, andCervical Esophagus
157
Major impedance differences between a tumor and healthy laryngeal tissue allow the detection of intralaryngeal processes [5]. This is possible above all for intralaryngeal cysts (Figs.7.34 and 7.35). We often can see only parts of these cysts by endoscopy, but ultrasound allows the complete detection of the cyst, so we can optimize the planning of therapy (Video 7.5).

Additionally, with the ultrasound devices used today in rou­tine sonography, intralaryngeal cancer growth can be seen with ultrasound. Similar to cysts, the tumor itself is hypoechoic, with or without acoustic enhancement, which depends on the tumor structure (Fig.7.36). Sometimes it is possible to detect specic features of the tumor growth, such as inltration of the cartilages (Fig.7.37, Video 7.6) or even tumor breakthrough (Fig.7.38).

Destruction of the cartilage and tumor growth outside of the larynx into the surrounding tissue can be seen without problems (Fig.7.39). With major destruction of the cartilage, the view of intralaryngeal parts of the tumor becomes better (Fig.7.39b).
7.4 Tumors oftheHypopharynx
andtheCervical Esophagus
Inltration of the hypopharynx by laryngeal cancer or pri­mary hypopharynx cancer also can be seen by ultrasound. In our experience, this is possible for T2 tumors or larger but is difcult for T1 tumors. Typically, the tumors are detectable
medial to the thyroid gland (Fig.7.40), which often is moved laterally by the tumor. The tumor itself is hypoechoic and inhomogeneous, sometimes inltrating the thyroid gland. The same can be seen in cases of cancer of the proximal esophagus (Fig.7.41). The tumor can clearly be identied, since the typical stratied pattern of the esophagus no longer exists [6]. Instead of this typical pattern of the healthy organ, the tumor is characterized as a hypoechoic mass, sometimes inltrating the thyroid gland. Usually the whole extension of the tumor cannot be seen because major parts may be cov­ered by the acoustic shadow of the clavicle.
Similarly, a Zenker diverticulum can sometimes be seen
in the left hypopharynx, next to the thyroid gland (Fig.7.42).

8.1 Introduction

Lesions of the parapharyngeal space (PPS) can be primary or secondary. Primary lesions are limited in number, owing to the paucity of tissues contained within the region. PPS tumors account for only 0.5% of head and neck neoplasms [1]. Of these, 80% are benign and almost half arise from the salivary gland, namely, pleomorphic adenoma [2, 3]. The second most frequently encountered PPS tumors are neuro­genic tumors, followed by paraganglioma [4, 5].
8.2 Anatomic Boundaries oftheParapharyngeal Space
The PPS is a potential space that forms an inverted pyramid, extending from the skull base along the inferior surface of the petrous temporal bone superiorly to the greater cornu of the hyoid bone inferiorly [6]. Some authors consider the parapharyngeal space caudal to the mandibular angle to be obliterated and thus regard the styloglossus muscle as a land­mark for the inferior boundary [5]. The medial boundary is formed by the superior constrictor muscle and pharyngobasi­lar fascia. From anterior to posterior, the lateral boundary is formed by the medial pterygoid muscle, mandibular ramus, deep lobe of the parotid gland, and posterior belly of the digastric muscle. The prevertebral fascia forms the postero­medial boundary.
The PPS includes both pre-styloid and post-styloid com­ponents, separated by the tensor-vascular-styloid fascia, which extends from the styloid process to the tensor veli palatini [68]. Two other fascial layers have been described, the stylopharyngeal aponeurosis or aileron and the cloison sagittale, but controversy exists about their course and how they divide the compartments of the PPS [5]. Given the debate in the literature, these structures are likely to be inconsistent and vary among patients.
The carotid sheath comprises all three layers of the deep cervical fascia and represents a limited barrier between the PPS (laterally) and the retropharyngeal space (medially) [911]. This intimate relationship allows for processes traversing one of these spaces to easily enter the other [1].
Anteriorly, the PPS is contiguous with both the masticator and sublingual spaces, with implications for the spread of infection.

8.2.1 Pre-styloid Compartment

The pre-styloid compartment consists predominantly of fat through which traverse the inferior alveolar nerve, lingual nerve, auriculotemporal nerve, and ascending pharyngeal artery. The deep lobe of the parotid gland is directly lateral to the pre-styloid compartment. Salivary gland tumors, the most common parapharyngeal mass, arise in the pre-styloid compartment, displacing the great vessels posteriorly [12], as shown in Fig.8.1.

8.2.2 Post-styloid Compartment

The post-styloid compartment, consisting largely of structures in the carotid sheath, contains the carotid artery, internal jugular vein, cranial nerves IX–XII, sympathetic chain, and deep lymph nodes.
