MR sialography of iatrogenic sialocele: comparison with conventional sialography

MR sialography in patients with Sjögren syndrome.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of MR sialography of the parotid gland ducts in the diagnosis and staging of Sjögren syndrome. METHODS MR imaging was performed on a 1.5-T unit with a neck phased-array coil. MR sialographic source images were obtained using a heavily T2-weighted fast spin-echo sequence with spectral fat suppression. All images were analyzed ...

Prospective comparison of magnetic resonance sialography and digital subtraction sialography.

We sought to compare the diagnostic utility of magnetic resonance sialography (MRS) and digital subtraction sialography (DSS) in patients with suspected sialolithiasis or sialadenitis. Sixteen consecutive patients (4 female and 12 male, mean age 51+/-16 years) with suspected sialolithiasis or sialadenitis underwent DSS by a standard technique and MRS. MRS was obtained with a T2-weighted single-...

Comparative study of MR sialography and digital subtraction sialography for benign salivary gland disorders.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR sialography has become an alternative imaging technique for ductal salivary gland diseases. We compared the diagnostic accuracies of MR sialography and digital subtraction sialography in patients with successful completion of both examinations and benign salivary gland disorders. METHODS In a prospective study, we attempted to examine salivary glands in 80 patients w...

Iatrogenic Submandibular Duct Rupture Complicating Sialography: A Case Report

INTRODUCTION Sialolithiasis is the most common disease of salivary glands. Sialography is particularly important for the assessment of the outflow tract and in diagnosing obstructive salivary gland lesions including calculi. CASE PRESENTATION We report on a 38-year-old female with sialolithiasis whom had Wharton's duct perforation, complicating the sialography. She was treated conservatively ...
