Ultrasound and Sialendoscopy Findings in Radioactive Iodine-Induced Sialadenitis: Comparative Analysis and Possible Impact on Management.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To assess the correlation/association between ultrasound and sialendoscopy findings in radioactive iodine therapy-induced sialadenitis (RAIS).

Methods

Patients presenting with RAIS were investigated with ultrasound and sialendoscopy. Four pathologic ultrasound parameters and seven pathologic sialendoscopy parameters were retrospectively assessed. Correlations/associations between ultrasound and sialendoscopy findings and associations between the changes between the first and last ultrasound and sialendoscopy findings were assessed separately for the parotid (PG) and submandibular glands (SMG).

Results

Sixty-seven patients were included. In the first examination, 107 glands were investigated (PGs 88.8%, SMGs 11.21%), and in the last examination, 64 glands we
