Recognition of the imaging pattern of hyoid ORN is crucial for avoiding misdiagnosis and enabling prompt treatment. Hyoid ORN is a rare complication following radiation treatment for head and neck malignancy, with limited cases described in the literature.
Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a well-documented complication following radiation treatment for head and neck malignancy. Facial bones, mainly the mandible, laryngeal cartilage, and skull, are frequently involved sites for ORN. A rare site for ORN is the hyoid, with very limited cases described in the literature. Recognition of the imaging pattern of hyoid ORN is critical to avoid misdiagnosis of recurrent disease, prompting early treatment.
