Article Abstract

The experience in using radiolymphography in the diagnosis of central lymph dynamics disorders in thoracic duct pathology has been analysed. For the first time in Soviet literature we encounter two observations over the state of lymph dynamics along the thoracic duct by means of lymphoscintigraphy with colloid 113mIn in patients with lymphangiectasia of the thoracic duct and chylothorax. In importance of lymphoscintigraphy in determining the compensatory mechanisms of the lymph flow in primary pathology of the main lymph collector is emphasized.

Spontaneous cervical swelling syndrome is a rare, benign, and recurrent condition, most commonly affecting middle-aged women. Although its etiology is not fully understood, it is thought to be associated with intermittent occlusion of the thoracic duct, caused by increased pressure in the head and neck region. It occurs as an acute, limited swelling of the left supra-clavicular region and regresses, in most cases, spontaneously, in less than a week.

Thoracic duct embolization has gained widespread acceptance as an effective treatment of postoperative chylothorax. We describe a patient with chylothorax after pneumonectomy requiring thoracic duct embolization who presented again with a pneumonectomy space infection. Bacterial culture was positive for gastrointestinal flora, which suggests that the pleural space was inoculated at the time of thoracic duct embolization.

Background: Lymphatic leaks are associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Intranodal lymphangiography (ILAG) involves the direct injection of ethiodised lipid into the hilum of lymph nodes. It is diagnostic procedure that can have therapeutic effects secondary to a local sclerosant effect.
