[Results of post mortem thyroid gland phlebography (author's transl)]. 1975

R Günther, and M Georgi, and T Kärst

The anatomic course and variation of the thyroid veins used for retrograde thyroid phlebography were studied in 70 post mortem thyroid phlebograms. Comparison with pathological and anatomical findings showed good agreement in benign diseases of the thyroid with lesions of more than 1 cm. Infiltrating malignant changes could not be delineated with certainty and a post mortem proven parathyroid adenoma was also missed. The practical clinical significance of thyroid phlebography is therefore confined to the localisation of parathyroid tumours in primary hyperparathyroidism by selective parathoromone measurements.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006961 Hyperparathyroidism A condition of abnormally elevated output of PARATHYROID HORMONE (or PTH) triggering responses that increase blood CALCIUM. It is characterized by HYPERCALCEMIA and BONE RESORPTION, eventually leading to bone diseases. PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is caused by parathyroid HYPERPLASIA or PARATHYROID NEOPLASMS. SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is increased PTH secretion in response to HYPOCALCEMIA, usually caused by chronic KIDNEY DISEASES.
