SIALOLITHIASIS- A REPORT OF TWO CASES AND REVIEW
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Salivary gland calculi account for the most common disease of the salivary glands, and may range from tiny particles to several centimetres in size. The majority of sialoliths occur in the submandibular gland or its duct and is a common cause of acute and chronic infections. While the majority of salivary stones are asymptomatic or cause minimal discomfort, larger stones may interfere with the flow of saliva and cause pain and swelling. This case report describes two patients presenting with submandibular gland sialolith and also provides a literature review regarding the salivary sialolithiasis.
