title: [The x-ray changes in the parotid salivary glands of patients with Sjögren's disease].
abstract: The data obtained upon sialography of the parotid glands (PG) in 28 patients with Sjogren's disease (SD) were compared to clinical SD manifestations, PG regional circulation and histological picture of the labial salivary glands. 24 patients exhibited classical sialography characterized by sialoectasias, enlarged ducts, obscure outlines of the latter. 4 sialograms displayed the duct narrowing, noncontrast parenchyma outlines, unclear images of sialoectasias. Severe xerostomia, marked dryness of the vermilion border, rare enlargement of the salivary glands and parotitis recurrences occurred more frequently in patients with narrow efferent PG ducts. These changes are attributed to vascular sclerosis, devascularization, stromal sclerosis and parenchymal PG atrophy.
