“…MATZKER (1966) andSClIULZ (1969) have stated that cutoff ending, tuft-shaped and slightly dilated end ductules, as in these 5 glands, are signs of age changes; GARUSI (1964) reported that the terminal ducts were irregular at advanced ages. SUNTHEIM (1960) andPFEIFFER (1968), on the other hand, believed that the ramification and the width of the ducts do not serve as criteria of age changes, as the 5 glands from the 3 subjects in the present investigation confirm; the ages were around the mean for the group. The present results suggest that glands with the above appearance have a low rate of secretion irrespective of age.…”

“…In the 3 exceptional instances (Figs 9, 10, 11) the deviations in duct pattern, size and secretion were so large as regards both the individual and the intra-subject comparisons that the glands should be regarded as anomalous or pathologic. According to WIEDEMANN (1951) andPFEIFFER (1968) the development of the gland in figure lOb corresponds to the normal at 4 years of age.…”

SMITH (1953) recorded radiologic evidence of duct dilatation in three generations of a family , and PEARSON (1961) observed terminal duct dilatation with involvement of the main parotid duct in 2 pairs of siblings. Evidence of familial occurrence has also been reported in more recent literature (PATEY 1971).…”

“…While there have been some reports of recurrent swellings affecting all the salivary glands-for example, Rose (1954) and Patey (1965)-many have concentrated on recurrent parotid gland enlargement (Payne, 1940;Pearson, 1961;Maynard, 1965). The present series is the only one devoted solely to unilateral recurrent swelling of the parotid gland, and the conclusions drawn from this study of 109 patients should be worthwhile.…”

A 20-year experience with acute and recurrent suppurative parotitis involving 46 children is described, and the pertinent literature is reviewed. Acute suppurative parotitis (a single attack) occurs in the newborn period, sporadically throughout the remainder of childhood, and in association with terminal illnesses. Recurrent suppurative parotitis occurs throughout childhood. It is not a self-limited disease, but may extend beyond puberty into late adolescence and adult life. The presently acceptable form of treatment consists of appropriate antibiotic therapy and sialography.The acute and recurrent forms of suppurative parotitis are seen infrequently in the practice of pedi¬ atrics. The parotitis is characterized clinically by the enlargement of one or both parotid glands, purulent drainage from Stensen's duct, and systemic symptoms. The natural his¬ tory and etiology of this disorder are poorly understood, and approaches to treatment have varied extensive¬ ly. This study analyzed the data from the records of children seen at the Mayo Clinic with acute or re¬ current parotitis in an attempt to describe some of the features of its natural history, significant etiologic factors, and an approach to therapy. Methods and MaterialsThe present series represents a 20-year experience involving 46 children treated at the Mayo Clinic for acute or recurrent suppurative parotitis (four other children had suppurative paro¬ titis in association with a terminal ill¬ ness, eg, paraganglioma, carcinoma of the thyroid, abdominal teratoma, and bleeding duodenal ulcer). The records of these patients were reviewed, and a questionnaire was sent to the parents of the children or to those patients who had since become adults. Patients were included in the study only if the clini¬ cian . and reviewer thought that other causes of parotid sweUing were elimi¬ nated. ResultsAcute Suppurative Parotitis.-Tables 1 and 2 outline the features of acute suppurative parotitis (one attack) in 16 patients. Most patients were either less than 1 or more than 10 years old, and most were male pa¬ tients. Only two patients had bi¬ lateral involvement. The illnesses lasted an average of 9.4 days (range, 1 to 19 days). Among the newborn patients, streptococci of the viridans type and Staphylococcus aureus were the organisms isolated from the pus from Stensen's duct in one pa¬ tient, Streptococcus pyogenes from the second, and Strep pyogenes and viridans streptococci from the third.In four older children with acute suppurative parotitis for whom in¬ formation was available, streptococci of the viridans type were isolated from three and Staph aureus from one.Fourteen patients with acute sup¬ purative parotitis received antibi-
