    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric oncology
    • Diagnostic imaging
    • Lymphatic system imaging

    Background:

    • Lymphography is a crucial imaging technique for evaluating lymphatic system abnormalities.
    • Pediatric patients with malignant diseases often require detailed lymphatic assessment.
    • Bipedal lymphography has been utilized in pediatric populations for decades.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of bipedal lymphography in children.
    • To determine the success rates of lymphatic cannulation and opacification in pediatric patients.
    • To identify potential complications associated with pediatric lymphography.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 659 pediatric patients undergoing bipedal lymphography between 1963 and 1975.
    • Assessment of successful bilateral and unilateral lymphatic cannulation and lymph node opacification.
    • Documentation of all adverse events, including allergic reactions and neurological deficits.

    Main Results:

    • Successful bilateral lymphography was achieved in 86.7% of cases, with an additional 11.6% having diagnostic unilateral studies.
    • Lymphatic cannulation failure rates decreased with increasing patient age.
    • Adverse events were rare, including five allergic reactions (0.75%) and one transient neurological deficit (0.15%), with no permanent sequelae or deaths.

    Conclusions:

    • Bipedal lymphography is a highly successful and safe diagnostic procedure for pediatric patients, particularly those with malignant conditions.
    • The technique demonstrates a low complication rate, making it a valuable tool in pediatric diagnostic imaging.
    • Age-related improvements in cannulation success suggest technical learning curves in pediatric lymphography.
