Salivary gland disorder Flashcards
size of parotid gland - general
up to TMJ
to mandible and behind
von frey syndrome
gustatory sweating
- Result after trauma occured to the parotid region of the face
instead of going to parotid gland – goes to sweat gland
three major etiology of infections
viral - like mumps
from stones - like mucus plug (like secondary)
retrorade infection
high temp dysphagia trismus swelling and malaise - may be from?
pus draining from wharton’s duct - submandibular gland infection
features of chronic infection / blockage
diminshed salivary flow
turbind, viscous discharge
pain and swelling seen at meal time
moderate enlargment of the affected gland
scarring pattern seen on sialolith
typically swells at meal time
chronic paraotid infection
with turbid viscous discharge milked from duct
tx for glandular
hydration – water
plus acidic like lemons and pickles
stimulation
ductile dilation – probing - only chronic though - not acute infections
antibiotics
sialolothectomy
sialolithectomy
sialogram
‘easy’ sialothith to remove
can almost see it
- traction suture – suture ligation of duct
2.
clinically important parotid gland anantomy
- superficial / deep lobe
- facial nerve courses through
- retromandibualr relationship
- course of stenson’s duct
- over masseteric muscle - accessory gland
its large!
- also because wraps around behind - trismus could be associated
clinically important submandibular gland anatomy
- muscualr triangle
- allow these muscsles to swallow
- symptoms = difficulty swallowing - facial nerve, artery and vein
- hypoglossal nerve
- whartons duct
- lingual nerve
- crossing UNDER WHARTON’S DUCT
whartons duct?
from submandibular gland to oral cavity
stensons duct
from parotid gland
clinically important sublingual gland anatomy
- deceptively large size
- directly drains by 8-20 ductiles
- can be injured
- like mucocele formed - bartholin’s duct into whartons
trauma examples
- mucocele
- ranula
- laceration of salivary duct
- salivary fistula
- von frey syndrome
ranula is
when the sublingual gland has been injured
mucous pulling underneath
typical mucocele
dome shaped
fluid filled
non ulcerated
moveable
can occur wherever minor salivary glands are
very large fluctuant swelling in the area of the sublingual gland
ranula
chance of reoccurence when marsupilization ? next what?
yes can happen – try again
ranula can be cause by - example he gave
trauma from sunction tip / high speed suction in dental procedure
pt. with x-ray of face with discontinuity defect
possible FRACTURE
STENSONS duct is injured – from parotid
typical acute submandibular gland infection
discrete swelling
som hurt to swallow
PUS milked from wharton’s duct
acute parotiditis presentation
sudden onset
mild trismus
fever
pre and infra auricular swelling
tx for the acute
antibiotics – not going to go into an acutely infected duct area
pt says has acute parotid glan infection but presents with multiple swellings
infection may be secondary to CANCER
- had lymphoma
not tender swollen parotid gland
lymphoma
pain that is suggestive of chronic infectin / blockade
pain and swelling at MEAL time
