Abstract
Many traumatic and nontraumatic conditions affecting the adult neck may present emergently. A prompt and accurate imaging assessment is vital to patient management in many of these conditions. In this review we will discuss the imaging assessment of both penetrating and blunt vascular and laryngeal trauma, infectious neck emergencies such as supraglottitis and septic thrombophlebitis, and nontraumatic airway conditions that may present emergently such as subglottic stenosis and angioneurotic edema.
