Osteoradionecrosis of the hyoid has been reported rarely in the worldwide literature. We present the case of a 56-year-old gentleman who presented with intractable neck pain, following surgery and radiotherapy for a T(2)N(2c)M(0) tongue base carcinoma, to highlight the need to consider osteoradionecrosis of the hyoid rather than recurrence of the carcinoma as the cause of such symptoms. The previously unreported appearance of osteoradionecrosis of the hyoid on a magnetic resonance image (MRI) scan and the use of this investigation to aid diagnosis is discussed.
舌骨放射性骨坏死在全球文献中鲜有报道。我们报告一例56岁男性病例，该患者在接受T(2)N(2c)M(0)舌根癌手术及放疗后出现顽固性颈部疼痛，以强调需要考虑舌骨放射性骨坏死而非癌复发作为此类症状的病因。本文讨论了舌骨放射性骨坏死在磁共振成像（MRI）扫描中此前未报道过的表现以及利用该检查辅助诊断的情况。
