This week I wanted to show off something not commonly looked at or for on pantomographs; the epiglottis. The epiglottis will appear near the inferior aspect of the radiograph as a curved radiopaque entity. It may be superimposed over the hyoid or inferior border of the mandible. If the airway is very radiolucent it may not be evident.
