Chronic Sialolith with Sialadenitis
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Sialolithiasis also called as mealtime syndrome is the second most common disease of major salivary gland. It occurs commonly in middle-aged adults with the incidence of 12 in 1000 of the adult population. It is common in males than females in the ratio of 2:1 [1]. It most commonly involves the major salivary gland, especially submandibular gland or its duct. Sialoliths occur as a result of deposition of calcium salts around an organic material such as inspissated mucous, ductal epithelial cells, salivary proteins and foreign bodies. Stasis of saliva may lead to acute and chronic infections[2]. Intraductal stones are comparatively common than intraglandular stones. Hilar stones tend to become very large and round in shape before becoming symptomatic unlike, ductal stones which show elongated form. Diagnosis of sialolithiasis is easy due to typical and obvious clinical features, but in order to establish the right treatment, various imaging studies are mandatory [3]. We report a case of right submandibular gland sialolithiasis with chronic infection in 35-years-old male with its diagnostic imaging and treatment plan.
