title: [Sialographic and sonographic diagnosis of salivary gland diseases].
abstract: The diagnostic value of sialography and ultrasonography was studied retrospectively in 130 patients with diseases of the salivary gland. In the diagnosis of tumours (sensitivity: 97.5% vs 52.5%), acute inflammatory diseases (sensitivity: 70% vs 40%) and abscesses (sensitivity: 100% vs 25%) ultrasound was more accurate than sialography. Even in the diagnosis of calculi, ultrasound gave good results (sensitivity: 71.4%) and should be performed before the more invasive sialography technique. In chronic inflammatory diseases, sialography continues to be the technique of choice.
