Sublingual sialography.

A case of specific catheterization of the sublingual gland is presented. The possibility of routine examination of this gland is discussed on the basis of a review of the literature.

Juvenile recurrent parotitis: clinicoradiologic follow-up study and the beneficial effect of sialography.

In twenty-two children juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP) was diagnosed on the basis of age at onset, duration of parotid swelling episodes, frequency of attacks, lack of pus formation, and typical sialograms. Age at onset and severity of the disease varied widely. There was a high incidence of upper respiratory tract infection, and in some cases a familial history of JRP was noted. The sialograms revealed acinar and ductal atrophy and severe sialectasis. A dominant feature was impaired glandular function. The follow-up period was notable for a striking decrease in the number of incidents of glandular swelling regardless of the patient's age at the time of his or her first visit to our clinic. Since drug treatment was administered prior to our first examination and no medicaments were prescribed by us, the improvement in the clinical status of the patients is attributed to the sialographic procedures.

Diagnostic value of sialography with both the conventional and digital subtraction techniques in children with primary and secondary Sjögren's syndrome.

OBJECTIVE: The application of anamnestic data on siccative symptoms required for classifying adult Sjögren's syndrome is limited in childhood. Instrumental test procedures are therefore necessary for objectively recording the oral and ophthalmologic manifestations of the disease. The aim of this study was to clarify the sialographic changes that occur in Sjögren's syndrome in children. STUDY DESIGN: A total of 23 sialograms were obtained with both conventional and digital subtraction techniques in 21 children with primary (10 girls and 1 boy) or secondary Sjögren's syndrome (10 girls). The films were assessed by 3 physicians and submitted for a consensus analysis if necessary. RESULTS: The pathologic features observed in the children varied from a slightly narrowed ductal system to multiple peripheral ductal ectasias and completely destroyed parenchyma. Sialographic examinations demonstrate that, with progressing disease, regression of acinar dilatations and rarification of the ductal system occur. CONCLUSION: The results show that the spectrum of sialographically recordable lesions in Sjögren's syndrome in children is greater than is described thus far in the literature.

Interventional sialography and minimally invasive techniques in benign salivary gland obstruction.

Salivary gland obstruction is the commonest complaint affecting this organ and is usually due to the development of salivary calculi, ductal strictures, or both. Imaging has a role in the diagnosis of the cause, extent, and effects of obstruction. In recent years, the role of radiology has evolved; techniques, such as salivary stone lithotripsy, and salivary stone extraction and balloon ductoplasty are carried out under imaging guidance. This article reviews the current status of minimally invasive salivary interventions.
