Trismus resulting from a parotid hemangioma

Cavernous Hemangioma of the Parotid Gland

“…27 The lump may become more prominent when the head is bent forward or the patient lies horizontally 11 (turkey wattle sign). Masseteric hypertrophy 33 or trismus 34 could be a feature of parotid cavernous hemangioma. The presence of calcified phleboliths where normally no large venous plexuses occur is a characteristic x-ray finding in cavernous hemangioma of the salivary glands, 29 but are found in just over 15% of the patients and are comparable to changes in striated muscles 35 and gastrointestinal tract 36 with similar lesions.…”

Arteriovenous Malformation of the Parotid Gland: Case Report and Review of the Literature

“…This parotid mass may fluctuate in size with a report of a history of swelling or pain that has resolved with antibiotics [6,7]. Trismus and facial paralysis have also been reported but to a lesser extent [9,10]. The swelling may be pulsatile with bluish discoloration of the skin rarely being reported.…”
