“…Crepitation on palpation is diagnostic for pneumoparotitis, but it can be mistaken in up to 50% of the patients [4]. Gland swelling, erythema, and tenderness on palpation may be detected in pneumoparotitis as a consequence of inflammation and infection [5]. In our case; the clinical examination showed swelling of the gland and crepitation on palpation, but erythema and pain were not observed.…”

We report a 57-year-old female patient who underwent a correction of surgical scar and sagging of the abdominal skin by plastic surgeons. She was 155 cm and 95 kg, with body mass index 37.5 kg/m 2 . She had a history of arterial hypertension for 5 years. General anesthesia was induced by propofol 3 mg/kg and fentanyl 1 lg/kg. Endotracheal intubation was performed with muscle relaxation using rocuronium bromide 0.6 mg/kg after assisted ventilation and induction. Maintenance of anaesthesia was achieved with sevoflurane (2-3 vol%) in 50% O 2 and 50% air. The patient was extubated without any problems at the end of the surgery. In the recovery room, a painless swelling on the left pre-auricular and post-auricular areas extending up to the angle of the mandible was detected (Fig.

“…In cases of rudimentary parotid gland as in our case, the saliva is produced but the quality and quantity are compromised. A number of case reports of patulous Stensen's duct have been recorded in the past (13)(14)(15). In these cases, air insuffulates into the parotid gland due to increased intraoral pressure and results in recurrent parotid swelling.…”

Congenital absence or rudiment major salivary glands, especially of the parotid glands, are a rare entity. Aplasia of parotid glands has been described alone or in association with abnormalities of other salivary glands, first branchial arch developmental disturbances and other congenital anomalies such as lacrimoauriculodentodigital syndrome, mandibulofacial dysostosis and ectodermal dysplasia. Absence is most commonly unilateral, and may be associated with accessory or rudimentary glandular tissue. There are several reported cases of isolated patulous Stensen's duct causing air insufflations in the glands and recurrent parotid gland enlargement. However, in the literature there is no reported case of association of rudimentary parotid gland with a patulous Stensen's duct. This paper aims at reporting an interesting and unusual presentation of unilateral imperfectly developed parotid gland with a distended Stensen's duct in a five year old mentally challenged girl who presented with an unintentional habit of blowing out cheeks several times in a day resulting in air insufflations and recurrent parotid swelling.

“…Subsequently, 3 more bilateral cases have been reported. [99][100][101] The extraoral swelling is accompanied by a sense of fullness and follows the anatomic outline of the parotid gland. Palpation of the usually painless swelling shows the classic crackling sensation associated with tissue emphysema.…”
