Nasopharynx on Cone-beam Computed Tomography

The nasopharynx, an important site of malignancies, is prominently displayed on medium-to-large FOV CBCT. The minority of CBCTs which display asymmetry, particularly the Fossa of Rosenmüller, is easily recognised by dentists. To avoid undue referral of false positives, care should also be taken with regard to the clinical history and examination of the neck, especially for lymphadenopathy.
