[The diagnosis of lymphedema of the lower extremities and an assessment of the surgical results using computed tomography].

Under study were potentialities of computed tomography (CT) in diagnostics and differential diagnostics of lymphedema of lower extremities by comparing findings of CT in 40 patients (11 men and 29 women) with the I-IV degree lymphedemas. It was shown that data of CT were thought to be an objective basis for the estimation of spreading the injury and efficiency of the operative procedures.

[Computed tomographic symptomatology of lymphedema of the lower extremities].

CT potentialities in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of lower limb lymphedema in 40 patients (11 men and 29 women), aged 16 to 56, are illustrated. Eighty studies on the limbs were performed to 20 patients with primary lymphedema, 6 with congenital lymphedema, 26 with secondary lymphedema, and 28 with unaffected limbs. The data were statistically processed according to the following parameters: leg diameter, skin and subcutaneous fat thickness and density, the presence of fibrosis in subcutaneous fat, its localization, shape and spreading, fascial thickness. CT permitted objective assessment of disease and a right choice of a type of surgical intervention.

[Mechanism of diagnostic significance of histidase release into the blood in lymphedema].

The organ-specific enzyme histidase was measured as an indicator of skin involvement in the blood of 52 patients with primary and secondary lymphedema of the upper and lower limbs. A stable type of the disease (degree I) was characterized by washing histidase off the derma into the blood. Mild and moderate histidase washing associated with skin dystrophy occurred with progression of the disease (stage II and III, respectively). In advanced lymphedema (degree 4) histidase does not enter blood from the skin. This fact is explained by total impairment of skin cell elements and their replacement for fibrous tissue. Both in primary and secondary lymphedema complicated by erysipelas histidase is washed off the dermocytes. The findings justify use of blood histidase indices for assessment of lymphedema patients' condition, formulation of indications for operation and concluding on the latter efficacy.
