title: [The role of salivary gland scintigraphy in ear, nose and throat surgery (author's transl)].
abstract: Scintigraphy of salivary glands might appear to be a relatively minor test in the study of the morphology of the salivary glands and especially tumours. However, with recent technical progress, it is an extremely useful test in th study of the function of the principal salivary glands. Changes in salivary secretion in certain severe facial paralyses could become an interesting prognostic test; on this subject, the simultaneous abnormalities in sub-maxillary and parotid salivary secretion in these cases of paralyses poses a physiological problem. The study of salivary junction is indispensable in the exploration of aptyalia (in particular in the Sjögren's syndrome), and in sialosis.
