title: [Lymphatic involvement in postphlebitic disease].
abstract: Veins and lymph ducts are closely linked anatomically, embryologically and physiologically. It is therefore not surprising that such a close relationship should reemerge in the pathology of each. Post-phlebitic disorders provide a classic example of this. Microlymphography, using fluorescence, and isotopic phlebolymphography produce positive, unequivocable arguments for the contribution of lymph to the genesis of post-phlebitic disorders; these methods are better than direct lymphology which is technically difficult and not altogether without its dangers. These findings should, of course, have bearing on therapy.
