급성 화농성 이하선염 소아에서 발견된 이하선관 타석증 1예

The parotid gland is well affected by the inflammatory process. Acute suppurative parotitis may originate from a septic focus in the oral cavity, but acute suppurative parotitis in the pediatric population is uncommon. Salivary duct calculi such as Stenson’s duct calculi is the one of possible causes of suppurative parotitis. Because the presence of significant complicated conditions in children, prompt diagnosis and treatment such as surgical removal is needed. We have experienced a case of right supprative parotitis with Stensen’s duct sialolith in 2-year-old male. The right stenson’s duct calculi was diagnosed following axial computed tomography scan. The patient was treated with antibiotic therapy and sialolithotomy was done via intraoral approach. We report this case with a review of the literature. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2012;23:304-307)
