A post-therapeutic assessment
A photograph, 1 month after the treatment. The flap appears relatively swollen (red arrows) because it is infiltrated by post-therapeutic edema.

A scan of the contrast-enhanced axial CT, follow-up examination performed 18 months after the treatment. A right low attenuation lesion is displayed (red arrow) invading the parapharyngeal space with a mass effect (or...
Area of Interest:unknown; Imaging Technique:Relapse;
A metastatic lesion, with heterogeneous contrast enhancement is visualized in the right lateral pterygoid muscle (red arrows).
Area of Interest:unknown; Imaging Technique:Relapse;
A metastatic lymph node is also displayed in the submental left space.

A Gd-enhanced fat suppressed T1-weighted axial MR view. The contrast-enhancing lesion crosses the anterior midline (arrow).
An image of the contrast-enhanced axial CT, baseline examinations performed 6 months after the treatment. The fatty portion of the flap is displayed as a low attenuation area (red arrow), the base of the tongue is normal (green arrow).
A T1-weighted axial MR view. Baseline examinations performed 6 months after the treatment. The fatty portion of the flap shows a typical high signal intensity area (red arrow), whereas the superficial cutaneous and subcutaneous portions have a low signal intensity (green arrows).
Cine MR. Fast T2-weighted sagittal MR views. Each image is acquired in 1.2 sec. The patient swallows water through a pipe. The dynamic of the base of the tongue is preserved (green arrow). The flap (red arrow) does not display the normal motion of the mobile portion of the tongue.
A photograph, 1 month after the treatment. The flap appears relatively swollen (red arrows) because it is infiltrated by post-therapeutic edema.
A photograph, 6 months after the treatment. The flap is not infiltrated anywhere by edema (red arrows).
A scan of the contrast-enhanced axial CT, follow-up examination performed 18 months after the treatment. A right low attenuation lesion is displayed (red arrow) invading the parapharyngeal space with a mass effect (or invasion) of the masticator space.
A metastatic lesion, with heterogeneous contrast enhancement is visualized in the right lateral pterygoid muscle (red arrows).
A metastatic lymph node is also displayed in the submental left space.
