It is rare for a large amount of pooled radioactive saliva to be observed in the neck during a thyroid scan. Such a finding would imply abnormal salivation and/or esophageal kinesis. The case of esophageal dischalasia reported here suggests that a complete study of the esophagus is advisable when a large area or amount of radioactive saliva is observed in the neck during a thyroid scan.
在甲状腺扫描期间,颈部出现大量聚集的放射性唾液的情况较为罕见。这种发现意味着唾液分泌异常和/或食管运动功能异常。本文报道的食管扩张不全病例表明,当在甲状腺扫描期间颈部观察到大面积或大量放射性唾液时,对食管进行全面检查是可取的。
