Fig. 4 Lines of the pharynx.
a Spot radiograph showing vertically oriented striations (arrows) in the lateral and posterior surface of the hypopharynx. These lines reflect the underlying longitudinal muscle layer. b Low-power photomicrograph of the lateral pharyngeal wall showing close apposition of the squamous epithelium (short arrow)tothe longitudinal muscle layer (long arrowhead). Only a thin tunica propria (long straight arrow) separates the squamous epithelium from thelongitudinal muscle layer. The constrictor muscle layer is identified by a curved arrow.

external auditory meatus. The second branchial cleft forms the middle ear, eustachian tube, and floor of the tonsillar fossa. The third and fourth branchial pouches form the piriform sinuses. Persistence of either a branchial cleft or a branchial pouch may result in a sinus tract or cyst.
The most common branchial vestige is a cyst arising from the second branchial cleft. Small second branchial cleft cysts lie anterior to the sternocleido­mastoid muscle. Larger cysts may extend below the sternocleidomastoid muscle between the internal and external carotid arteries. These cysts only rarely communicate with the pharynx (Bachman et al.
1968).
Branchial pouch sinusesendblindly in the softtissue of the neck. Branchial pouch fistulas extend to theskin. Branchial pouch sinuses and fistulas arise from the tonsillar fossa (second pouch), the upper anterolateral wall of thepiriform sinus (thirdpouches), and thelower anterolateral wall of the piriform sinus (fourth pou­ches). Although most of these sinuses and pouches are present at birth, sinus tracts are occasionally detected for the first time in adults (Fig. 10).
3.3 Zenker’s Diverticulum
Zenker’s diverticulum (posterior pharyngeal diver­ticulum) is an acquired mucosal herniation through Killian’s dehiscence, a gap in the region of the cri­copharyngeal muscle, found in about one third of individuals on autopsy (Zaino et al. 1970). There is considerable variation in the anatomy of the thyro­pharyngeal muscle and the cricopharyngeal muscle. Thus, Killian’s dehiscence has been described as arising either between the thyropharyngeal muscle and the cricopharyngeal muscle or between the oblique and transverse fibers of the cricopharyngeal muscle (Perrot 1962; Zaino et al. 1967, 1970).
The relationship between Zenker’s diverticulum and the function of the cricopharyngeal muscle is not known. In some studies, upper esophageal sphincter (UES) pressure is normal (there is no spasm), the muscle relaxes completely during swallowing (there is no achalasia), and there is normal coordination between pharyngeal contraction and UES relaxation (Knuff et al. 1982; Frieling et al. 1988). Other studies have suggested that there is either abnormal

relaxation of the UES or incoordination of pharyngeal contraction. It is also not known whether chronic gas­troesophageal reflux predisposes to the development of Zenker’s diverticulum. Clearly,between 65 and95%of patients with Zenker’s diverticulum have gastro­esophageal reflux (Smiley et al. 1970; Delahunty et al.
1971; Rubesin and Levine 2001).
Zenker’s diverticulum is usually first detected in elderly patients who complain of dysphagia, halitosis, choking, hoarseness, or regurgitation of undigested food. Zenker’s diverticulum is not infrequently found in asymptomatic individuals or patients being studied for symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Also identified are the palatopharyngeal fold (white P) and its corresponding palatopharyngeal muscle (black P), the uvula (u), the circumvallate papillae (tiny white arrow), the left pharyngo­epiglottic fold(arrowhead), the leftpiriform sinus (one white dot on the left), the mucosa overlying the cuneiform and corniculate cartilages (tiny black arrows), the right arytenoid muscle (one
white dot on the right, and the cricoarytenoid muscle (two white dots on the right). (Reproduced with permission from Rubesin
et al. 1987a, Figs. 8b, 11c)
diverticulum suggests development of a complication such as ulceration, fistula formation, or carcinoma (Nanson 1976; Shirazi et al. 1977).
Radiographically, in the frontal view, Zenker’s diverticulum appears as a barium-filled sac midline below the tips of the piriform sinuses (Figs. 11, 12). In the lateral view, Zenker’s diverticulum appears as a barium-filled sac posterior to a prominent pha­ryngoesophageal segment and the upper cervical esophagus (see Fig. 12). During swallowing, Zenker’s diverticulum appears as a protrusion of the lower hypopharyngeal wall posterior to the expected lumi­nal contour, the neck of the diverticulum originating above a ‘‘prominent’’ pharyngoesophageal segment. The opening of the diverticulum may be very large

during swallowing, almost 2 cm in height (Fig. 13). After the swallow has passed, barium regurgitates back into the hypopharynx, in rare cases, resulting in overflow aspiration. Any irregularity of the contour of the diverticulum suggests development of an ulcer or carcinoma (Wychulis et al. 1969).
Zenker’s diverticulum should not be confused with a ‘‘pseudo-Zenker’s diverticulum,’’ barium trapped above a cricopharyngeal bar that has either opened incompletely or closed early (Fig. 14). Some pseudo­Zenker’s diverticula are pouches arising at Killian’s dehiscence. It is not known whether a Zenker’s diverticulum can develop from a pseudo-Zenker’s diverticulum. This author believes that many pseudo­Zenker’s diverticula result from cricopharyngeal response to gastroesophageal reflux (Brady et al.
1995).

3.4 Killian-Jamieson Pouches and Diverticula
Killian-Jamieson diverticula protrude through the Killian-Jamieson space, a gap in the muscle of the prox­imal cervical esophagus. This gap is bounded superiorly by the inferior margin of the cricopharyngeal muscle, anteriorly by the inferior margin of the cricoid cartilage, and inferomedially by the suspensory ligament of the esophagus just below its origin on the posterior lamina of the cricoid cartilage (Killian 1908). These diverticula are also known as ‘‘proximal lateral cervical esophageal diverticula’’ or ‘‘lateral diverticula from the pharyngoe­sophageal junction area’’ (Ekberg and Nylander 1983a). Patients with Killian-Jamieson diverticula are usually asymptomatic or have symptoms caused by abnormal pharyngeal motility (Rubesin and Levine 2001).

During pharyngography, the opening of the Killian-Jamieson diverticulum lies just below the cricopharyngeal muscle (Fig. 15). The opening of the sac changes size and shape with elevation of the cervical esophagus during swallowing (see Fig. 15). The sac of the diverticulum lies lateral to the proximal cervical esophagus on frontal views and overlaps the cervical esophagus on lateral views. Killian-Jamieson diverticula are more frequently unilateral than bilat­eral and are usually left-sided (Fig. 16) (Rubesin and Levine 2001). Bilateral diverticula are seen in about one quarter of patients. Killian-Jamieson diverticula are smaller than Zenker’s diverticula, averaging about
1.4 cm (Rubesin and Levine 2001). Regurgitation of barium from the sac into the hypopharynx is uncommon because regurgitation is prevented by the cricopharyngeal muscle. Occasionally, Killian­Jamieson diverticula and a Zenker’s diverticulum are seen in the same patient (Fig. 17).
Pouches are also frequently detected at the Killian­Jamieson space. These pouches may be related to early closure of the upper cervical esophagus, a finding associated with gastroesophageal reflux. On the frontal view, pouches appear as shallow, broad­based protrusions of the lateral proximal cervical esophageal wall; these pouches are effaced during swallowing (Ekberg and Nylander 1983a).

4 Inflammatory and Other Lesions
4.1 Lymphoid Hyperplasia
The normal surface of the base of the tongue has a reticular pattern created by the underlying lingual tonsil, an aggregate of 30–100 follicles extending from the circumvallate papillae to the root of the
epiglottis (see Fig. 2) (Gromet et al. 1982). Hyper­trophy of the lingual tonsils may occur after puberty, as a compensatory response to tonsillectomy/ adenoidectomy, or as nonspecific response to allergy or repeated infection.
Hypertrophy of the lingual tonsils disrupts the normal reticular surface pattern. There are no radio­graphic criteria, however, to differentiate nodularity of the base of the tongue attributed to the normal

is demonstrated radiographically, carcinoma or lym­phoma should be excluded via ENT examination and/ or MRI.
4.2 Acute Pharyngitis
Acute epiglottitis usually affects children between 3 and 6 years of age, but may also be seen in adults (Harris et al. 1970). Plain film diagnosis is important, as manipulation of the tongue/pharynx or barium studies may exacerbate edema and trigger acute respiratory arrest (Balfe and Heiken 1986). Smooth enlargement of the epiglottis and aryepiglottic folds allows plain film diagnosis of severe epiglottitis.
Barium studies are usually not performed in immunocompetent patients with acute sore throat. In immunocompromised patients, barium studies are used to demonstrate the presence, type, and severity of esophagitis. Thus, in patients with AIDS, a double­contrast examination may demonstrate the small ulcers of herpetic pharyngitis or the plaques of Candida pharyngitis (Fig. 20) (Rubesin and Glick
1988). Acute inflammatory disorders may cause
laryngeal penetration due to abnormal pharyngeal elevation, epiglottic tilt, or laryngeal closure.
Videopharyngography may be performed, how­ever, on patients with acute odynophagia or dys­phagia after trauma or suspected iatrogenic trauma. A nonionic water-soluble contrast agent is

lingual tonsil from that of lymphoid hyperplasia. On frontal views in patients with lymphoid hyperplasia, there are large 5–7 mm, smooth-surfaced nodules carpeting the vertical surface of the tongue (Figs. 18,
19a). On the lateral view, these nodules protrude
posteriorly (Fig. 19b). With severe lymphoid hyper­plasia, nodules may be detected in the valleculae, on the lingual surface of the epiglottis, and in the upper hypopharynx. Although lymphoid hyperplasia can appear coarsely nodular, asymmetrically distributed, or masslike, if any asymmetric or masslike nodularity

When no perforation is demonstrated with a water-soluble contrast agent, this author prefers to give high-density barium, as this form of barium sticks to the mucosal surface and is easier to detect in the extraluminal soft tissues than thin barium.
4.3 Chronic Inflammatory Conditions
In patients with acute corrosive ingestion, water­soluble contrast agent studies may be utilized to exclude perforation of the pharynx, esophagus, or stomach. Corrosive ingestion can result in amputation of the uvula and epiglottis and diffuse ulceration. With healing and scarring, epiglottic and pharyngeal

4.4 Webs
Webs are thin folds of epithelium and lamina propria most frequently found on the anterior wall of the lower hypopharynx and proximal cervical esophagus (Clements et al. 1974). Pharyngeal and cervical esophageal webs are seen in 3–8% of patients undergoing an upper gastrointestinal examination and in up to 16% of patients on autopsy (Seaman 1967; Clements et al. 1974; Nosher et al. 1975; Ekberg
