Abstract

Bone scintigraphy is applied
to evaluate abnormalities of  axial
skeleton and appendicular skeleton including osteomyelitis, prosthesis
infection, prosthesis loosening, avascular necrosis, stress fracture, bone
metastasis. Technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (Tc-99m MDP) is most common
used radiopharmaceutical. Injection of 
Tc-99m MDP should be done intravenous but it can be done intra-arterial,
accidentally. After intra-arterial injection of Tc-99m MDP, it cause prominent
soft tissue  uptake   distal to the injection site. This
situation  can create confusion in the
scintigraphic images. Usually, it imitate reflex sympathetic dystrophy, so
differential diagnosis is important. The aim of this report is to present the
appearance of inadvertent intra-arterial injection of Tc-99m MDP.

Tc-99m MDP’nin intraarteryal enjeksiyonu

Year 2016, , 79 - 82, 31.12.2016

Abstract

Kemik sintigrafisi,
osteomiyelit, protez enfeksiyonu, protez gevşemesi, avasküler nekroz, stres
fraktürü, kemik metastazı dahil aksiyel ve apendiküler iskeletin
anormaliklerini değerlendirmek için uygulanır. Teknesyum-99m metilen difosfonat
(Tc-99m MDP) en sık kullanılan radyofarmasötiktir. Tc-99m MDP’ nin
enjeksiyonu  intravenöz yapılmalıdır
ancak kazara intraarteryal enjeksiyon yapılabilir. Tc-99m MDP’ nin
intraarteryal enjeksiyonundan sonra, enjeksiyon alanının distalinde belirgin
yumuşak doku tutulumuna neden olur. Bu durum sintigrafik görüntülerde
karışıklık yaratabilir. Genellikle refleks sempatik distrofiyi taklit eder, bu
yüzden ayırıcı tanı önemlidir.
