Management of a parotid sialocelein a young patient: case report and literature review

Abstract: Sialocele is a subcutaneous cavity containing saliva, caused by trauma or infection in the parotid gland parenchyma, laceration of the parotid duct or ductal stenosis with subsequent dilatation. It is characterized by an asymptomatic soft and mobile swelling on the parotid region. Imaging studies are useful and help establishing the diagnosis, such as sialography, ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. This paper describes a recurrent case of a parotid sialocele in a young female … Show more

“…Trauma history in the masseter-cheek region is important clue for diagnosis but sometimes patients can't remember that they have received trauma [2]. In many studies, indicated that sialography should be used as a first step method for detection of communication between parotid duct and lesions suspicious for sialocele [3].…”

“…4,8,14 A single Botulinum toxin A injection to sialocele which occurred after parotidectomy is reported as a successful treatment. 15 Cappacio et al have suggested that the traditional treatment methods such as aspiration, sclerosing injections, radiation, marsupialization, incision and drainage often fail to treat the sialocele. 4 In such cases, the insertion of drains to create a new salivary duct, low-level radiation to stop the secretion of saliva and induce the glandular start fibrosis, tympanic neurectomy to stop the parotid gland secretion and partial or total parotidectomy are suggested.…”
