Imaging Anatomy of the pharynx (part 3): oropharynx

In this video, we’ll take a closer look at the imaging anatomy of the oropharynx. I’ll walk you through the key structures, their relationships, and why they matter in daily radiology practice. By the end, you’ll have a clear overview that helps you recognize normal anatomy and understand how pathology can spread in this region. This is the third part in a series on imaging anatomy of the pharynx, and part of wider series on head and neck imaging (made easy). 0:00 - Introduction 1:10 - Oropharyngeal isthmus 2:28 - Circumvallate papilla 3:40 - Oropharynx borders 6:15 - Oropharynx subsites 6:41 - Tonsillar region 14:01 - Palatine tonsil enlargement vs. oropharyngeal carcinoma 15:15 - Tonsillitis vs. peritonsillar absces 16:48 - Soft palate & uvula 24:51 - Tongue Base 27:26 - Lingual Tonsils 26:06 - Tongue Base Carcinoma 30:27 - Posterior pharyngeal wall 32:04 - On to the... hypopharynx! #radiology #neuroradiology #neurology #neurosurgery_made_easy #neurosurgeon #medicaleducation #medical #medicalstudent #foamed #medical #medicalstudent #nasopharynx #pharynx #anatomy #physiology #swallowingdisorders #swallowing #headandneckanatomy #headandneckcancer #entspecialist #entsurgeon
