‘FISH BONE’: THE REASON BEHIND SUBMANDIBULAR SIALADENTITS - A UNIQUE CASE REPORT
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC RESEARCH - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
There are various sequelae to obstructive salivary gland diseases. However salivary gland dysfunction and sialadenitis are the most common ones. Obstructive sialadenitis is commonly caused due to strictures, mucous plugs, polyps etc. We here report a unique case of submandibular sialadenitis due to an intra glandular lodgement of fish bone. The diagnostic modalities, surgical techniques and treatment challenges are discussed at length in this article with special emphasis on the changing trends in non-invasive submandibular imaging.
