Abstract:

Results of clinical observations of 120 subjects suffering from primary lymph edema of lower extremities, were presented. Particular attention was paid to the relationship between the degree of edema and lymphographic picture, to the lymphangitis complicating edema and to the coexistence of morbid venous lesions. No parallelism between radiologic picture and clinical signs was found. The highest percent of lymphangitis was found in a group of patients with the so-called aplasia of lymphatic vessels. Morbid venous lesions were found only in a negligible percent of patients being under observation. The latter lesions do not seem to cause the edema
