Lymphangiography syndrome

  Lymphangiography was rarely done in China and not many hospitals in the United States. Lymphangiography is relatively valuable for diagnosing lymphatic obstruction and lymphatic injury fistulae. However, because of the trouble of Procedure and the application of CT and nuclear, less and less of them are done.  This lymphangiogram patient in CLEVELAND CLINIC is a rare disease called Gorham-Stout Syndrome (GSS), which is a very rare and mysterious disease characterized by the inexplicable dissolution or disappearance of a large amount of bone, which is replaced by a large amount of proliferating lymphatic tissue. This patient’s pelvis, including the pubic and sit bones, had been very badly destroyed.  The lymphangiogram was first performed by injecting Melan between the toe webs, waiting for the lymphatic vessels of the dorsum of the foot to be visualized, and then cutting the skin on the surface of the lymphatic vessels of the dorsum of the foot between the first and second toes, starting as far down as possible to fully separate the lymphatic vessels, using microsurgical instruments that require vascular surgery or brain surgery. After the separation, a special fixation device is used to place the divided lymphatic vessels on this device, and the outflow end is temporarily blocked to fill the lymphatic vessels, which is visible at this time, and a silk thread is preplaced, and then the lymphatic vessels are punctured with a very thin injection needle, which is successfully connected to the outside with a glass thread.
