Article Synopsis
- The posterior cervical triangle is crucial for understanding the spread of head and neck cancers, particularly skin cancers of the scalp, and requires a thorough knowledge of the neurovascular structures there.
- Traditional 2D anatomical diagrams don't effectively convey the important spatial relationships needed for successful surgery, prompting the creation of a 3D virtual model.
- This study involved segmenting musculature and neurovasculature from a CT scan and reviewing literature to yield an anatomically accurate 3D model, which will be available online for educational purposes.
Radiological assessment of the dissection area in supraomohyoid neck dissection.

Purpose: The current supraomohyoid neck dissection (SOHND) is performed above the omohyoid muscle to dissect levels I, II, and III in the levels of cervical lymph nodes. However, the anatomical boundary between levels III and IV is the inferior border of the cricoid cartilage. We investigated the anatomical relationship between the omohyoid muscle and cricoid cartilage using contrast-enhanced CT (CE-CT) images to assess the validity of the current SOHND.

Anatomical anomalies of neck muscles are rarely observed and usually comprise variations of digastric and omohyoid muscles. Neck muscles' abnormalities might be correlated with embryological development and are observed in individuals with aneuploidies such as Edward's syndrome (18-trisomy) or Down syndrome (21-trisomy). Some infrahyoid muscles are important landmarks during surgery, therefore their anatomical variations of these muscles are related to higher risk of surgical complications.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effectiveness of high-frequency ultrasound in diagnosing omohyoid muscle syndrome by analyzing 11 patients with the condition.
- Results showed that affected omohyoid muscles were thicker and exhibited changes during swallowing, with significant differences noted when compared to the healthy side.
- The conclusion highlights that high-frequency ultrasound is the most effective imaging technique for diagnosing this syndrome.
