The carotid region: normal and pathologic anatomy on CT. 1984

A J Silver, and S R Ganti, and S K Hilal

The carotid region of the neck is defined in terms of three longitudinally oriented spaces: parapharyngeal, carotid, and paraspinal. Displacements of these spaces by neurogenic tumors of the neck are analyzed. The CT appearance and histology of these tumors are correlated.
