Abstract

A variety of treatment methods have been proposed for parotid sialocele. These include multiple aspirations and compression dressings, reconstruction of the duct, creation of a controlled internal fistula, superficial or total parotidectomy, radiation therapy and ductal ligation, etc. Most of these procedures are invasive with variables and often with poor success rates. This paper presents an unusual incidence of iatrogenic parotid sialocele after sialendoscopy and its management by a relatively simple, safe and effective technique, which is constituted of draining saliva into the intraoral.
