Study Notes
Sutures and Bone Formations
- If the metopic suture persists, frontal sinuses will not develop.
- The junction of the coronal and sagittal sutures is known as the bregma.
- The occipital bone is joined to the parietal bone at the lambdoid suture.
- The lambdoid and sagittal sutures meet at the lambda.
Ultrasound Findings in the Eye
- Aqueous and vitreous chambers appear anechoic (black) on ultrasound.
- The cornea and lens are echogenic (bright).
- The choroid, retina, and sclera are hypoechoic (dark) and indistinguishable from each other on ultrasound.
Cervical Lymph Node Size
- Cervical lymph nodes typically measure up to 3mm in size from C1 to C4.
- Below C4, lymph nodes may thicken but should not exceed the anteroposterior (AP) diameter of the cervical vertebrae.
- In children, cervical lymph nodes may measure up to 5mm due to the presence of lymphoid tissue.
Thyroid Gland Development and Descent
- The inferior parathyroid glands develop from the third pharyngeal pouch and migrate inferiorly with the thymus.
- Maldescent of the parathyroid gland can lead to ectopic locations, most commonly just below the inferior pole of the thyroid gland.
- Other ectopic locations include the superior mediastinum and behind the esophagus.
Maxillary Vein
- The maxillary vein drains the infra temporal fossa.
- It descends through the parotid gland, positioned deep to the facial nerve and superficial to the external carotid artery (ECA).
- It terminates by dividing into an anterior branch, which joins the facial vein and drains into the internal jugular vein (IJV), and a posterior branch, which becomes the posterior auricular vein.
