Our preliminary results suggest that MR sialography is a robust, non-invasive method for demonstrating the ductal system up to second-order branches, the site of ductal injury and the focal cystic lesion. MR provided at least the same information as conventional sialography in the evaluation of site of communication but provided additional information about the sialocyst and upstream ductal system in five cases. Being a non-invasive modality, we recommend MR sialography as the investigation of choice in the evaluation of an iatrogenic sialocyst.

“…A post-traumatic sialocele is an acquired lesion that arises from extravasation of saliva into the glandular or periglandular tissues secondary to disruption of the parotid duct or parenchyma 1,7 . Traumatic causes include sharp penetrating wounds in the oral cavity or in the face 6,17 and blunt trauma, such as zygomatic and mandible fractures 15,19 . extrinsic infections from mandibular teeth 3 mumps, actinomycosis, tuberculosis and syphilis have been recognized as causes of parotid fistulae in the past 14 .…”

“…Congenital fistulae and the ones secondary to invasive malignant tumors of the parotid gland or the oral cavity can also be associated to sialocele 15 . Temporomandibular joint surgery 13 , parotidectomy 18 , mastoidectomy 12 , mandibular osteotomies 11 and facial abscess drainage 25 have been mentioned as potential causes of sialocele, and in all these cases the duct and/or the gland are damaged.…”

Management of a parotid sialocelein a young patient: case report and literature review

et al. 2010

Sialocele is a subcutaneous cavity containing saliva, caused by trauma or infection in the parotid gland parenchyma, laceration of the parotid duct or ductal stenosis with subsequent dilatation. It is characterized by an asymptomatic soft and mobile swelling on the parotid region. Imaging studies are useful and help establishing the diagnosis, such as sialography, ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. This paper describes a recurrent case of a parotid sialocele in a young female patient. She presented a 6 cm x 5 cm swelling on the left parotid region. The ultrasonographic scan of the area revealed a hypoechoic ovoid well defined image suggesting a cyst. A sialography of the left parotid showed a cavitary sialectasia in a panoramic and anteroposterior view. A conservative management was adopted by percutaneous needle aspiration of the swelling, which was useful to provide material for analysis and helped healing. Dentists should be aware of this pathology and the importance in adopting a conservative treatment whenever it is possible.
