Major salivary glands in branchial arch syndromes. 1984

A Markitziu, and M Sela, and R Seltzer

In five patients with branchial arch syndromes the presence of the salivary glands was demonstrated. Clinical, sialographic, and scintigraphic examinations revealed morphologic defects and diminished function of the parotid glands. Hyperfunction of the submandibular glands was assumed in the three patients in whom scintigraphic studies were performed. The findings may be of diagnostic value in patients in whom the clinical signs of the syndrome have remained occult.

D011877	Radionuclide Imaging	The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D001934	Branchial Region	A region, of SOMITE development period, that contains a number of paired arches, each with a mesodermal core lined by ectoderm and endoderm on the two sides. In lower aquatic vertebrates, branchial arches develop into GILLS. In higher vertebrates, the arches forms outpouchings and develop into structures of the head and neck. Separating the arches are the branchial clefts or grooves.
