Hello everyone. It's Dr. Sidney Levy.

3 00:00:04,580 --> 00:00:08,150 Today, I'd like to discuss level 6 of the
0:08
lymph node levels of the neck, otherwise known as the
0:10
anterior compartment, or the prelaryngeal,
0:14
pre- and paratracheal lymph nodes within the neck.
0:18
I would like to use pre-contrast T1-weighted imaging
0:21
to demonstrate the boundaries and landmarks that you
0:24
need to be aware of in order to identify level 6.
0:27
The first thing to remember is that
0:29
level 6 is an anterior and medial level.
0:34
Related to the visceral space, i.e.,
0:37
the thyroid gland and adjacent structures.
0:41
The most important landmarks are the common
0:45
carotid or internal carotid arteries.
0:48
Level 6 is bounded laterally and posteriorly
0:52
by levels 2, 3, and 4.
0:57
These are the common carotid arteries.
1:02
So the first thing we need to be aware of
1:03
is the medial margins of those.
1:06
You may notice that in this particular study,
1:09
there is abnormal soft tissue in the vicinity
1:13
of the postcricoid space or hypopharynx.
1:15
I won't discuss that any further as we cover it
1:18
in another vignette, but this patient has a post-
1:20
cricoid tumor, so that's why it looks abnormal.
1:25
The other boundaries you need to be aware
1:26
of are the superior and inferior boundaries.
1:30
So on the sagittal projection,
1:32
you're interested in the manubrium.
1:35
It's here, and we go all the way up
1:39
to the inferior margin of the hyoid.
1:41
Hyoid is here.
1:43
So anything which is medial to the common or internal
1:49
carotid arteries, and is situated between the inferior
1:53
margin of the hyoid and the manubrium, is within level 6.
1:58
And lastly, let me draw that for you.
2:03
This area here, which includes the visceral space, including
2:06
midline lymph nodes when present, such as the Delphian lymph
2:10
node, that all belongs in level 6 and is of particular
2:15
consideration with thyroid, laryngeal, or pharyngeal tumors.
2:22
In our next vignette, we will discuss level 7.
