Abstract
Diagnostic images now play a key role in the diagnosis of neck pathologies. The anatomic distribution of the different spaces is separated into two large regions, based on their relationship to the hyoid bone: suprahyoid and infrahyoid, where the spaces are separated by the different cervical fascia, extending from the base of the skull to the superior thoracic aperture. It is of the essence that the GP has proper knowledge of the anatomy of each neck space and recognizes the various limits and the anatomic structures within the spaces, since such knowledge shall provide the GP with optimal tools for an adequate diagnosis of the various pathologies seen in clinical practice.
