Tracheoesophageal groove: reference point detecting descended superior parathyroid adenoma by SPECT/CT

Conclusions: By identifying a tracheoesophageal groove, SPECT/CT could easily identify the descended superior parathyroid lesion that is in fact, located to posterior to the thyroid and posterior to the tracheoesophageal groove. Understanding the relationship between a superior ectopic parathyroid adenoma and recurrent laryngeal nerve in the tracheoesophageal groove is important.
