“…As posterior fossa surgeries such as retrosigmoid and far-lateral approach require extreme head rotation and flexion for long duration, this complication has been most commonly seen during these procedures. [2457] The swelling occurs on the side opposite to that of the surgery. Although the exact reason is not known, various mechanisms have been proposed as a reason for this complication.…”

“…Reperfusion of such ischaemic tissues after surgery leads to rapid progression of the swelling within a few hours after surgery causing respiratory compromise and stridor. [158] Medical conditions such as diabetes mellitus, Sjogren's syndrome and dehydration can predispose to this complication. [15]…”

Extreme degree of rotation and flexion of the head during posterior fossa surgeries can lead to acute post-operative submandibular sialadenitis that can cause respiratory compromise. Identification of this problem is vital to prevent deterioration in the early post-operative period. This condition responds well to conservative management provided airway obstruction is taken care of. We discuss a case of a 63-year-old female, with a left side vestibular schwannoma who developed airway obstruction in post-operative period due to swelling of right submandibular gland. Various possible mechanisms leading to this condition and related literature are briefy reviewed.

Acute unilateral neck swelling and sialadenitis are rare but documented causes in the differential diagnosis of acute neck swelling following surgeries performed in various surgical positions and also in critical care units. Although rare, they can lead to severe morbidity as well as mortality if not promptly addressed.We report a case of acute unilateral submandibular gland swelling detected in the immediate post operative period following Acoustic Schwannoma excision performed via retromastoid suboccipital craniotomy in park bench position, and its subsequent management.
