Dual Approach for Large Submandibular Calculi
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Sialolithiasis is responsible of 30% of all salivary pathologies. Some 80% to 90% of calculi are found in the submandibular gland [2]. While parotid and sublingual gland have a rate of 10% and 5% respectively. Traditionally, the treatment for calculi in the proximal duct or gland has been sialadenectomy. The main rationale determining surgical policy is the widely held view that proximal stones cause permanent structural damage to the gland, which in turn are predisposed to recurrent infection [3].

متن کاملTransoral sonographic diagnosis of submandibular duct calculi.
We present a case of submandibular duct calculi diagnosed using transoral sonography. Sonography is the first-line imaging modality of salivary gland calculi. However, it is performed via a transcutaneous approach, which is limited in identifying small salivary duct calculi. Using an intraoral transducer, transoral sonography can visualize the submandibular duct and detect the presence of small...

متن کاملUnusual giant sialolith of Wharton's duct
Salivary gland calculi account for the most common disease of the salivary glands. Most of the salivary calculi are small in size. Some calculi that reach several centimeters are reported as megaliths or giant calculi in the literature. They may occur in any of the salivary gland ducts but are most common in Wharton's duct and in the submandibular gland. This report presents clinical and radiog...

Sialolithiasis is one of the most common pathologies of the submandibular gland; sialoliths account for about 80 percent of all salivary duct calculi.The majority of sialolith occurs in the submandibular gland or its duct and is common cause of acute and chronic infection. Salivary stones larger than 15 mm are classified as giant sialoliths. They are uncommon in the practice of otolaryngology, ...
