“…At US, the most common finding in patients with Lemierre syndrome is a hyperechoic thrombus depicted within the affected internal jugular vein, with decreased or absent blood flow (Fig suppurative parotitis is most commonly seen in children younger than 1 year old and often occurs in newborns or in children with systemic disease, with a rate of occurrence of 3.8 in 10 000 neonatal admissions (95,96). Bacterial parotitis is most often caused by Staphylococcus aureus and is commonly unilateral, resulting from (a) the spread of infection from adjacent structures such as the teeth or ears, (b) parotid calculi, or (c) immunosuppressive processes (97).…”

Superficial palpable masses of the head and neck are common in the pediatric population, with the vast majority of the lesions ultimately proven to be benign. Duplex ultrasonography (US) has emerged as the first-line imaging modality for the evaluation of superficial pediatric masses. Without utilizing radiation, iodinated contrast material, or sedation and/or anesthesia, US provides a means for quick and cost-effective acquisition of information, including the location, size, shape, internal content, and vascularity of the mass. In this review, the US findings are described for a variety of common and uncommon pediatric head and neck masses diagnosed in our practice. Specifically, the entities covered include neonatal scalp hematoma, craniosynostosis, dermoid and epidermoid cysts, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, lymph nodes and their complications, fibromatosis colli, thyroglossal duct cyst, branchial cleft cyst, cervical thymus, congenital goiter, thyroid papillary carcinoma, parathyroid adenoma, hemangioma, lymphangioma, jugular vein phlebectasia, Lemierre syndrome, acute parotitis and parotid abscess, leukemia and/or lymphoma, neurogenic tumor, and rhabdomyosarcoma. Ultimately, in situations in which the head or neck mass is too large, deep, or hyperechoic to be fully assessed within the US field of view, or if malignancy or a high-flow vascular lesion is suspected, then further evaluation with cross-sectional imaging is warranted.

Introduction: Acute parotitis is known as an uncommon disease in children and a rare condition in infancy. Dehydration, prematurity, immune deficiency, congenital anomalies of the parotid gland or ducts, and oral trauma are some of its important risk factors. The most common bacteria contributing to this condition is Staphylococcus aureus. Acute parotitis is managed with intravenous antibiotic therapy and surgery in complicated cases. Favorable prognosis is reported in early diagnosis and proper antibiotic therapy. Case Presentation: The present report presents the case of a 60-day-old breastfed female infant with a chief complaint of agitation referred to the Department of Pediatrics in a university-affiliated hospital in Tehran, Iran, in 2018. She underwent treatment for the infantile colic diagnosis. Conclusions: Timely diagnosis and treatment of acute bacterial parotitis prevented suppurative parotitis and formation of abscess.
