The value of magnetic resonance imaging in a fistula of Wharton's duct

Dentomaxillofac Radiol. 2000 Mar;29(2):125-7. doi: 10.1038/sj/dmfr/4600503.

Abstract

A 30-year-old woman developed a fistula of the Wharton's duct following excision of the submandibular gland. The contribution of conventional fistulography, MRI and MRI fistulography in detecting the exact extent of the fistula is discussed.
