Intranodal lymphangiography: feasibility and preliminary experience in children
PURPOSE: To review an initial experience studying the lymphatic system using direct
injection of ethiodized oil contrast medium into lymph nodes (ie, intranodal
lymphangiography) in children with chylous disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Children with chylous disorders who underwent intranodal lymphangiography were
included in this retrospective study. Under general anesthesia, ultrasonography was used to
guide the placement of a small-bore (22–25-gauge) needle into an inguinal lymph node …
