Imaging of the peritoneum evaluated by 99mTc-icodextrin scintigraphy in peritoneal dialysis patients: preliminary data.

Aim: In this study, we proposed a peritoneal scintigraphy with a different marker, the 99mTechnetium-Icodextrin, to evaluate the distribution of the dialysate within the peritoneal cavity in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.

Methods: 99mTc-Icodextrin scintigraphy was performed in 16 PD patients. 0.

Cervical vagal schwannoma: single case report.

Schwannomas of the cervical vagal nerve are rare neoplasms, usually occurring between the third and the sixth decade of life. They don't demonstrate any sex predilection, and they often present as slow-growing, palpable neck masses, leftright sided, without early neurological symptoms, and they are often confused with enlarged lymphnodes or lipomas. Several differential diagnosis should be considered.
