Parotitis/Mump 2 types?
- Bacterial parotitis-high mortality rate, seen in elderly taking anticholinergic meds that inhibit salivary flow
- Viral parotitis (mumps)-spread through saliva, coughing, sneezing. mumps vaccine since 1970s.
Parotid tumors
80% benign
lose facial expression
can spread to mandible, pharynx, base of skull, middle ear, cervical lymph nodes
Frey’s Syndrome
Sweating and redness in the distribution of the auriculotemporal nerve during eating
Parotid fistula
Communication between the parotid gland and the skin or oral cavity Often occur from trauma: Injury during surgery Secondary to tumors Congenital Infection

Arterial supply of external ear
Superficial temporal a. (from ECA)
Posterior auricular a. (from ECA)
Deep auricular a. (from maxillary a.)
Anterior tympanic a. (from maxillary a.)
Ceruminous glands
Are in external acoustic meatus and produce Cerumen (earwax)
