are interventional measure often done in scotland for salivary obstruction
no
what are 3 interventional measures for salivary obstruction
- surgical removal of the stone
- removal of the gland
- dilate structures of the gland
why might surgical dilation of salivary ducts not be possible
extent of scar tissue from chronic infection
what must the salivary stone be to remove it
- mobile
- located in lumen/ main duct
- duct must be patent and wide to allow passage of the stone
where must the salivary stone be in the submandibular gland in order to remove it
within lumen or main duct distal to the posterior border of the mylohyoid
where does a salivary stone by in the parotid duct in order to remove it
distal to the hilum or anterior border of the gland
what must the duct be for balloon dilation
patent anterior to the stricture to allow passage of the equipment
what % of balloon dilation results in complete resolution
56
what 4 tests would be used to test for sjogrens
- blood test
- schirmer test
- sialometry
- labial gland biopsy
what 5 things are we looking for on an ultrasound for sjogrens
- atrophy of the gland
- heterogenous parenchymal pattern
- hypoechoic
- fatty infiltration
- changes suggesting MALT lymphoma
what do sjogrens syndrome pts have a higher risk of
developing lymphoma
what is the number 1 imaging modality for sjogrens
ultrasound
what is stage 1 on the diagnostic criteria for sjogrens
punctate
what is stage 2 on the diagnostic criteria for sjogrens
globular
what is stage 3 on the diagnostic criteria for sjogrens
cavitation
what is stage 4 on the diagnostic criteria for sjogrens
destructive
what other changes in the salivary glands mimic sjogrens
- radiotherapy
- SLE and sarcoidosis
what does radiotherapy do to salivary glands
causes atrophy
what is scintigraphy
injection of radioactive technetium 99 pertechnetate
what is the half life of the contrast used in scintography
6 hrs
what can you used in scintography to gain images
gamma camera
what does scintography of the salivary glands show us
how well the glands are working
what will there be in scintography of salivary glands if the gland is working well
uptake into the gland
what will there be on scintography of salivary glands if there is a tumour
reduced uptake
