Fifty-three patients were evaluated by ultrasonographic visualization of the sublingual space as part of routine neck sonography. Delineation of the sublingual gland was good or fair in 93% of the cases. The normal gland was 32.06 mm long in the sagittal plane. The submandibular duct was identified in 53% of the cases and measured less than 2.5 mm in diameter. The sublingual vessels were detected in 93% of the cases and had almost the same mean diameter as the duct. Four cases of frequent pathologies in this region were also examined. Ultrasonography is the examination to use for diseases of the sublingual space.
作为常规颈部超声检查的一部分，对53例患者进行了舌下间隙的超声可视化评估。93%的病例中舌下腺的轮廓显示良好或尚可。正常腺体在矢状面长32.06毫米。53%的病例中识别出了下颌下腺导管，其直径小于2.5毫米。93%的病例中检测到了舌下血管，其平均直径与导管几乎相同。还检查了该区域4例常见病变。超声检查是用于舌下间隙疾病的检查方法。
