Estudio mediante técnicas de imagen de las fístulas del seno piriforme

The presence of a recurrent inflammatory process and acute suppurating thyroiditis located on the left side should raise suspicions of PSF. Both CT and MRI are useful in the study of PSF; however, in our experience, ultrasound examination is the technique of choice for initial evaluation and follow-up. After the acute process, barium swallow studies continue to be the main method for diagnosing the trajectory of the fistulous tract.
