[|Human|] I just had a CTA of my head and neck, with and without contrast. The vascular findings came back normal however; the CTA of the neck revealed a pharyngeal lesion. How likely is it that a CTA would reveal a soft tissue abnormality and is it a bad sign that it did?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. CT angiogram is mainly done to look for a vascular lesion. So, the normal angiogram riles this condition, and that is good news. Pharyngeal lesion seen or suspected on the CT Anglo needs to be further evaluated. This would require an evaluation by a Head and neck surgeon, and followed by MRI scan of the neck region. There is no need to worry about the pharyngeal lesion, as it can be treated well after proper diagnosis. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
