We report a case of hairy polyp of the pharynx diagnosed on brain MRI in order to stress the need to examine carefully all tissues included on an imaging study, even those outside the clinically stated region of interest, and to remind practitioners to consider unusual as well as common etiologies for neonatal respiratory distress. Our case is unique in that thorough examination of a brain MRI, ordered in the evaluation of presumed central apnea, led to the correct diagnosis.
我们报告了一例通过脑部磁共振成像（MRI）诊断出的咽部毛发状息肉病例，旨在强调仔细检查影像学研究中包含的所有组织的必要性，即使是那些在临床指定感兴趣区域之外的组织，并提醒从业者要考虑新生儿呼吸窘迫的不常见病因以及常见病因。我们的病例独特之处在于，对因疑似中枢性呼吸暂停而进行的脑部MRI进行全面检查后得出了正确诊断。
