Patient-reported outcome measures and physical function following head and neck lymphedema - a systematic review.

Purpose: Head and neck cancer (HNC) treatments often lead to significant morbidity, including lymphedema. This systematic review aims to comprehensively explore the prevalence and impact of head and neck lymphedema (HNL) following treatment.

Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted up to September 2023.

Differentiation of lipoedema from bilateral lower limb lymphoedema by imaging assessment of indocyanine green lymphography.

Lipoedema is characterized by disproportionate painful fat accumulation mostly in the lower limbs. The presence of lymphoedema in lipoedema remains controversial. This study aimed to assess the presence or absence of lymphoedema in the lower limbs of women with lipoedema using indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography.

A new indocyanine green fluorescence lymphography protocol for diagnostic assessment of lower limb lymphoedema.

Introduction: The lower limbs are a common body site affected by chronic edema. Imaging examination of the lymphatic system is useful to diagnose lymphoedema, identify structural changes in individuals, and guide interventional strategies. In this study, we used a protocol combining indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography and ICG-guided manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) for the diagnostic assessment of lower limb lymphoedema.
