This review highlights imaging features of parotid space pathologies, suggesting clinical relevance for diagnosis.
The parotid space contains several important anatomic structures and can be involved by a variety of pathologies. Herein, we review the imaging anatomy of the parotid space with an emphasis on its clinical relevance. We also review the imaging findings of infectious, inflammatory, congenital, benign, malignant, and nodal pathologies encountered in the parotid space.
