| Core Tip |
Mannitol is a hyperosmolar agent and the combination of mannitol and furosemide is a widely used treatment for intracranial pressure control. We found dramatic improvement of refractory lymphedema after administration of mannitol and furosemide. After the mannitol and furosemide were discontinued, the lymphedema worsened in spite of complete decongestive therapy (CDT) and intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC). To identify the presumed effect of mannitol and furosemide on lymphedema, these agents were resumed, and the lymphedema improved again. The present case suggests that the combination of mannitol and furosemide could be considered as another effective therapeutic option for refractory lymphedema when CDT and IPC are ineffective. |
