摘要：

Perineural tumour spread (PNTS) in head and neck oncology is most often caused by squamous cell carcinoma. The most frequently affected nerves are the trigeminal and facial nerves. Up to 40% of patients with PNTS may be asymptomatic. Therefore, the index of suspicion should be high when evaluating imaging studies of patients with head and neck cancer. This review describes a quick search checklist of easily detected imaging signs of PNTS.Teaching Points center dot A distinctive feature of head and neck tumours is growth along nerves.center dot Perineural tumour spread is most often caused by squamous cell carcinoma.center dot There are several key findings for the detection of perineural tumour spread.
