[Sonographic detection of salivary calculi of the sublingual gland].
Ultrasound (US) proved highly effective for detection and localisation of stones in salivary glands. Because of the high accuracy and the possibility to detect non-opaque stones sonography should be performed as a supplementary measure if on plain film the localisation of the calculi is questionable. In this study we report on two patients with stones in the glandula sublingualis.
