Abstract
- Acute pancreatitis due to organophosphate intoxication is a known risk, but acute parotitis due to organophosphate intoxication is rare. We describe the case of a 74-year-old man who had acute organophosphate intoxication-induced ipsilateral parotitis. He developed ipsilateral parotid gland swelling and elevated serum amylase on the second day of the poisoning. However, serum lipase did not elevate and amylase isoenzyme predominated over S-type. Thus, we suggest that acute parotitis can develop due to organophosphate intoxication, and that this possibility should be checked by serial serum amylase, serum lipase, and amylase isoenzyme testing.
