Q

why is Chronic Sialadenitis more common in submandibular Gland?

A
  • Secretions of submandibular are more viscid.
  • Its duct opens in floor of mouth → obstruction by food.
  • Drainage of submandibular gland is independent.

Q

Composition of salivary stones

A

Ca, Mg phosphate & carbonate.

Q

CP of Chronic Sialadenitis

25
Q

Chracters of Pain in Chronic Sialadenitis

A
  • Dull aching pain if the stone is in the gland.
  • Colicky pain if it is in duct.
26
Q

Where does Chronic Sialadenitis pain refer to?

A
  • May refer to tip of the tongue or teeth due to irritation of lingual nerve as it hooks around submandibular duct.
27
Q

What Increases Chronic Sialadenitis pain?

A

Increases with meal & mastication.

28
Q

Characters of swelling in Chronic Sialadenitis

A
  • The gland is enlarged & its size is increased after meal.
  • Stone in submandibular duct may be felt in the mouth floor.
29
Q

Signs of Chronic Sialadenitis

30
Q

Investigations for Chronic Sialadenitis

31
Q

DDx of Sialadenitis

32
Q

Compare between Enlarged submandibular salivary gland & Enlarged Submandibular lymph node in terms of:

  • Number
  • Lemon Test
  • Rolling
  • Bidigital Examination
  • CP
33
Q

Complications of Chronic Calicular sialadenitis

34
Q

Complications of Chronic non-Calicular sialadenitis

35
Q

TTT of Parotid Gland Calcular Sialadenitis

  • When the stone is in the duct
A

Can be removed intraorally.

36
Q

TTT of Parotid Gland Calcular Sialadenitis

  • When the stone is in the gland
A
  • Total conservative parotidectomy, because superficial parotidectomy leads to postoperative salivary fistula due to diseased cystic deep lobe.
37
Q

TTT of Submandibular Gland Calcular Sialadenitis

  • When the stone is Peeping from the orifice
38
Q

TTT of Submandibular Gland Calcular Sialadenitis

  • When the stone is in the duct
39
Q

TTT of Submandibular Gland Calcular Sialadenitis

  • When the stone is recurrent or found in the gland
A
  • Submandibular sialoadenectomy
40
Q

TTT of Submandibular Gland Calcular Sialadenitis

  • When the stone is in the gland
41
Q

Complications of Submandibular sialoadenectomy

42
Q

Def of Von Mikulicz Disease

43
Q

Payhology of Von Mikulicz Disease

A

The salivary glands are the seat of heavy lymphocytic infiltration

44
Q

Comlications of Von Mikulicz Disease

A

It is precursor of lymphoma of salivary gland

45
Q

TTT of Von Mikulicz Disease

A

The disease responds to prednisolone

46
Q

What is Von Mikulicz Disease associated with?

A

The syndrome includes also:

  • Narrowing of the palpebral fissure due to enlargement of lacrimal gland
  • Dry mouth
47
Q

Sjogren syndrome

A

Dry mouth
Dry eyes
Generalized arthritis

48
Q

Sicca syndrome

A

Dry mouth
Dry eyes.

49
Q

Def of Mucocele

A
  • It is a retention cyst which affects either minor salivary glands (in oral cavity especially in the buccal mucosa) or in the major salivary glands.
50
Q

What is a complication of Mucocele?

A

Sialocele due to trauma to the salivary ducts leading to extravasation of the secretion

51
Q

TTT of Mucocele

A

Excision of the cyst (and the minor salivary gland if it is arising from it)

52
Q

Def of Ranula

A
  • A mucocele of the sublingual salivary gland, it presents as large tense bluish swelling in the floor of the mouth which displaces the tongue.
53
Q

Complications of Ranula

A

Ranula may push its way through the mylohyoid raphe & protrude to the neck: plunging ranula.

54
Q

TTT of Ranula

A

Deroofing & excision of the sublingual salivary gland
