(i) Through foramen ovale (ii) To otic ganglion

19
Q

Sympathetic postganglionic fiber innervation

A

a. Through external carotid plexus
b. Cell bodies in superior cervical ganglion
c. Stimulation increases glycoprotein and viscosity of parotid salivary flow

20
Q

Clinical correlates

  1. Mumps: viral infection resulting in swelling of the parotid gland; causes severe pain due to the parotid sheath limiting swelling
  2. Parotid tumors
    a. 80% are benign
    b. cancer rare but sometimes in parotid
    c. surgical intervention is risky CN VII.
