Abstract
The article discusses modern understanding on lymphedema pathology in the maxillofacial region, its classification and methods of diagnostics. Findings after clinical and ultrasound examination of 31 patient having the secondary maxillofacial lymphedema are presented. Lymphedema stage in each patient was classified by the results of clinical examination and by MD Anderson Cancer Center Head and Neck Lymphedema Rating Scale. The authors also compare diagnostic parameters obtained by ultrasound and findings of clinical examination in the compared areas. The described trial has resulted in identification of basic ultrasound diagnostic criteria which are typical for each specific stage of the disease.References
