Shortlasting, unilateral, neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT syndrome): V. Orbital phlebography.

We studied six patients with SUNCT, a unilateral headache syndrome with shortlasting attacks and ipsilateral autonomic phenomena with orbital phlebography and MRI. All but one orbital phlebogram showed abnormalities on the headache side (in one patient bilaterally), involving the superior ophthalmic vein or/and the cavernous sinus. No systematic changes were demonstrated on MRI. The phlebography findings were similar to those observed in the Tolosa-Hunt syndrome and in cluster headache.

Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania and hemicrania continua: orbital phlebography and MRI studies.

Six patients with chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH) and 10 patients with hemicrania continua (HC), two indomethacin-responsive, unilateral, headache syndromes, were investigated with orbital phlebography and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. Orbital phlebography apparently showed pathological findings more frequently in CPH than in HC. Such abnormalities did not always show preference for the side of headache. MR scans were grossly normal in these headaches.

Screening for urinary tract abnormalities with single-film urography after phlebography and angiography.

Single-film urography was performed after phlebography or angiography in 2,335 patients. Abnormal results were reported in 52 of these patients. Subsequent complete urography verified two significant abnormalities (one renal calculus and one renal cell carcinoma). In addition, there were 28 less significant abnormalities. In 22 patients the single-film urography was incorrectly reported as abnormal. Among the 2,283 normal single-film studies there were three cases of false-negative results (two renal cell carcinoma and one renal calculus with perinephritis). This study does not confirm the value of routine single-film urography after phlebography and angiography.

Neovascularization in recurrence of varices of the great saphenous vein in the groin: phlebography.

A method of improving radiologic definition in phlebography of recurrent varicose veins in the groin is described. Before injection of contrast material, venous return from the distal part of the limb was temporarily suspended by inflating a tourniquet surrounding the lower part of the thigh to a level higher than the systolic pressure. Toward the end of the injection procedure the patient performed a valsalva maneuver. Phlebography showed that the recurrent varices were more frequently in continuity with the great saphenous vein than collateral to it. Their tortuous or irregular outline did not usually correspond in position or appearance to normal tributaries of the vein. Radiographs of excised great saphenous vein injected with barium sulfate suspension showed that the valves of tributaries proximal to the site of surgical interruption of the vein remained competent. The findings provide further evidence of neovascularization in recurrence of varices of the great saphenous vein at the site of transection.

Orbital phlebography in evaluation of the cavernous sinus and adjacent basal veins of the skull.

Frontal vein phlebography has proven to be of great diagnostic value in the evaluation of pituitary tumours and of lesions in the vicinity of the sella turcica. It permits the diagnosis of venous thrombosis; similar phlebographic changes may be the only positive radiologic finding in cases with malignant tumour of the skull base. Phlebography is thus to be recommended as an early method to be used in possibly malignant lesions at the skull base.

Phlebography, urography and lymphography in the diagnosis of metastases from testicular tumors.

The value of lymphography from the foot, urography and phlebography of the inferior vena cava and the left renal and testicular veins in the search for retroperitoneal metastases was investigated in 120 patients with testicular tumors. Phlebography of the left renal and testicular veins was a valuable supplement to the other examinations, so that the combined use of all these methods is recommended in demonstrating metastases and in evaluating the extent of growth and effect of treatment.

Selective phlebography in carcinoma of the pancreas.

Eighteen patients with obstructive jaundice were examined by pancreatic phlebography. In 15 cases the final diagnosis was carcinoma of the pancreas, in 3 cholangiocarcinoma. The normal phlebographic anatomy and the morphologic abnormalities in patients with carcinoma of the pancreas are described. The accuracy of pancreatic phlebography in the diagnosis of carcinoma of the pancreas and cholangiocarcinoma is evaluated.

Antegrade testicular vein phlebography and funicular lymphography in testicular tumors.

Antegrade phlebography of a testicular vein in connection with orchidectomy was performed in 29 patients and funicular lymphography was successful in 26 of these. Eleven patients had retroperitoneal metastases and 18 were normal. The phlebographic and lymphographic findings in both groups are described and discussed as well as the collateral pathways in cases with stenosis of the testicular vein. Antegrade phlebography is recommended but funicular lymphography does not merit a place in the routine examinations of patients with testicular tumor.

Phlebography in crural hematoma. Differential diagnosis from recent deep vein thrombosis.

Fifteen cases of crural hematoma in which phlebography had been performed were revised. A phlebography was often normal in an early stage of hematoma. In major crural hematoma compression, displacement and occlusion of the deep venous system occurred. Non-filling of deep veins occurred in 6 cases, and venous thrombosis should therefore only be diagnosed on the basis of constant filling defects.

Assessment of deep venous insufficiency by ascending phlebography.

Retrograde femoral phlebography performed in the supine and erect positions are compared. In deep venous insufficiency, the contrast medium passes considerably farther down in the retrograde direction in examinations with the patient in the erect position. A comparison was made between ascending and retrograde techniques in order to find out what predictive value conventional ascending phlebography of the lower limb may have with regard to the function of the valves in the femoral vein. Layering of the contrast medium in the valvular sinus is a very reliable sign of valvular competence and was observed in two-thirds of the cases without deep venous insufficiency. This figure can be increased by a slight modification of the method of examination. Absence of layering does not necessarily indicate deep venous insufficiency.

Selective renal occlusion phlebography with a balloon catheter.

Technique of selective renal occlusion phlebography is described. For the temporary occlusion of the renal vein a Swan-Ganz or Dotter-Lucas balloon catheter are used. The balloon catheter is directed into the renal vein using a Desilets-Hoffmann or EDSLAB introducer. Occlusion of the renal vein is achieved by insufflation of 2-3 ml. air into the balloon of the catheter. Selective renal occlusion phlebography leads to optimal retrograde opacification of the renal venous system.

Comparative study of two iodinated contrast media containing 20% iodine in lower-limb phlebography: ioxaglate versus a conventional product.

Forty-eight patients were examined by bilateral ascending phlebography in a crossover, prospective, randomised, double-blind study. A low-osmolar agent (Hexabrix) (ioxaglate, 200 mg iodine/ml) and a dilute conventional contrast medium (Angiografin) (meglumine diatrizoate) with the same iodine concentration were used for each limb alternately. The adverse reactions and the quality of diagnostic data were recorded: the Student paired-t-test showed statistically that ioxaglate containing 200 mg iodine per ml was better tolerated and that diagnostic information was equally good for the deep and ilio-caval systems, but seemed better with diatrizoate for superficial veins with extensive varicosity. The authors conclude that ioxaglate 200 is advantageous overall in lower-limb phlebography from the standpoints of tolerance, diagnostic data and cost.

Intra-osseous phlebography and intramedullary pressure in the rabbit femur.

Intra-osseous phlebography and the measurement of intramedullary pressure (IMP) have been used clinically and in experimental animals as qualitative methods of measuring blood flow in the bone. The normal phlebographic appearances in long bones are not clearly understood and the correlation between these appearances and the IMP is not known. The distal femora of 10 anaesthetised rabbits were cannulated percutaneously. The IMP was measured and phlebography performed by injecting a radio-opaque dye (Conray 280). The mean resting IMP was 33 millimetres of mercury with a range of 7 to 81 millimetres of mercury. The rate of elimination of dye from the marrow varied from less than 1 minute to 40 minutes. There was no correlation between the rate of elimination of dye and the IMP. Variation in the medullary phlebographic appearance and in the routes of drainage were noted. We concluded that the wide range of resting values for both techniques suggest that neither is a true measure of blood flow in the bone and that the results of research or clinical investigation using these techniques should be viewed with caution.

Complication rate with supine phlebography.

The incidence of complications following supine phlebography was studied in 109 patients (142 legs) retrospectively and 89 patients (106 legs) prospectively. Virtually all patients had some discomfort during the procedure, while three patients had delayed pain for up to 4 days following examination. Three patients developed hives, one of whom also had bronchospasm. There were two cases with subcutaneous extravasation. The shorter endothelial contact time of supine phlebography compared to the semiupright technique might explain the reduced incidence of pain.

Reduction of venous thrombosis complicating phlebography.

Patients who underwent radiographic phlebography were studied to determine the frequency of postphlebographic venous thrombosis. In a group of 23 patients who had negative phlebograms performed with standard contrast agent (60% sodium methylglucamine diatrizoate), nine had positive 125I-fibrinogen leg scans. On repeat phlebography, three had confirmed deep vein thrombosis, six overall developed deep or superficial thrombosis, and three had positive scans without demonstrable thrombi. In a second group of 34 patients studied with the contrast material diluted to 45%, only three developed positive scans, one due to deep venous thrombosis and two to superficial thrombosis. There was also a reduction in the incidence of postphlebographic symptoms of pain, tenderness, and erythema, but no apparent sacrifice in diagnostic accuracy.

Hexabrix as a contrast agent for ascending leg phlebography.

Fifty patients were analyzed after a randomized double-blind study comparing Hexabrix and Hexabrix-20 in ascending phlebography. Measures of safety and patient tolerance indicated that both concentrations of Hexabrix appeared safe and were well tolerated. All studies were diagnostic, and the image quality was rated as excellent in 80% of the Hexabrix group and 72% of the Hexabrix-20 group. The authors conclude that Hexabrix and Hexabrix-20 are acceptable contrast media for ascending phlebography.

Descending phlebography in the assessment of long saphenous vein incompetence.

Fifty-eight legs were investigated by descending phlebography using a standard Valsalva maneuver in 38 patients with varicose veins who were suspected of having primary long saphenous vein incompetence on the basis of clinical examinations, tourniquet tests, and Doppler sonography. In 21 (36%) of 58 legs the clinical diagnosis was confirmed; in the rest, there was no evidence of long saphenous vein incompetence. Descending phlebography using a standard Valsalva maneuver is a reliable method of demonstrating long saphenous vein incompetence and should be performed before surgical treatment in all patients in whom there is clinical doubt about the presence or absence of this condition.

Lumbar phlebography in the diagnosis of disc herniations.

The authors report their experience with 240 cases with lumbar phlebography in the diagnosis of lumbar disc herniations. The normal radiological anatomy and the radiological signs of disc herniations are described. Indications for phlebography are given, and the reliability of this test is compared with that of myelography performed with water-soluble agents.
