1/10. Salivary calculus: an insight into its pathogenesis--a case report of parotid sialolith in a 9 year old child.The occurrence of sialolithiasis in children is uncommon, while parotid sialoliths are rare. A case of parotid sialolith in a 9 year old child is reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/10. shock wave lithotripsy of a parotid duct calculus.Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, a relatively new non-invasive method of treating salivary gland calculi, is rarely used in UK hospitals. We present a case of parotid duct calculus treated successfully by lithotripsy in a United Kingdom (UK) district General Hospital.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.25keywords = calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/10. Combined approach to impacted parotid stones.PURPOSE: This article describes the use of combined endoscopic and ultrasound approach to locate and to extract impacted parotid stones, which cannot be retrieved by intraoral approach alone. patients AND methods: A total of 12 parotid glands from 7 women and 5 men (age range, 35 to 62 years) with parotid sialoliths were treated with the combined method. Eleven of 12 of the procedures were performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient clinic. The identification of the calculi was done in 5 patients with 1.3-mm sialoendoscope (Nahlieli Sialoendoscope; Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, germany) in 6 patients with the aid of high-resolution ultrasound, and in 1 patient the location was combined endoscopy and ultrasound. The removal of the calculi was performed extraorally via minimal incision. The indications for the combined approach were 1) calculus in the posterior third of the Stensen's duct with too narrow duct anterior to it, 2) obstruction of the posterior or middle third of the Stensen's ducts leading to the calculus, 3) large (>5-mm) stones in the middle or posterior part of the duct that cannot be dilated for intraductal removal, and 4) intraparenchymal stones. RESULTS: Of the 12 patients, 9 had complete removal (75%); in 1 case with 3 sialoliths, we removed 2 and the gland remained asymptomatic. In 7 cases, the glands returned to function, 3 glands became atrophic with no function, but the gland remained asymptomatic. The aesthetic results were satisfactory in all cases, no major complications were noted. CONCLUSIONS: Combined endoscopic ultrasound approach is another minimal invasive technique for identification and removal of impacted parotid sialolithiasis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/10. Migrating salivary stones: report of three cases.patients with salivary calculi are normally managed by removal of the calculus or, if necessary, the affected gland. If it is left untreated, a stone may migrate into the adjacent tissues. We present three patients in whom salivary calculi tracked to the surface of the skin. Two were removed under local anaesthetic, and the third patient was lost to follow up.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.25keywords = calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/10. Giant parotid calculus--an unusual presentation.We describe a case of a giant sialolith of Stensen's duct in a 48-year-old woman. The patient was investigated and treated with a mistaken diagnosis of chronic inflammation until the clue to the diagnosis was provided by plain radiography. This is an unusual presentation of a salivary calculus and to our knowledge such a huge parotid calculus has not been reported so far in the literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 15.162540853822keywords = salivary calculus, calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/10. Parotid sialolithiasis in Stensen's duct.Salivary duct lithiasis is a condition characterized by the obstruction of a salivary gland or its excretory duct due to the formation of calcareous concretions or sialoliths resulting in salivary ectasia and even provoking the subsequent dilation of the salivary gland. Sialolithiasis accounts for 30% of salivary diseases and most commonly involves the submaxillary gland (83 to 94%) and less frequently the parotid (4 to 10%) and sublingual glands (1 to 7%). The present study reports the case of a 45-year-old male patient complaining of bad breath and foul-tasting mouth at meal times and presenting with a salivary calculus in left Stensen's duct. Once the patient was diagnosed, the sialolith was surgically removed using local anesthesia. In this paper we have also updated a series of concepts related to the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of sialolithiasis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 13.912540853822keywords = salivary calculus, calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/10. Parotid duct mucocele.Parotid swelling is a common presentation in ENT clinic. Most of the cases involve pathology of the gland. There are not many reported cases about parotid duct pathology. We describe a case of a large parotid duct mucocele with a calculus. Excision of the mucocele and superficial parotidectomy was performed. The post-operative recovery was uneventful.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.25keywords = calculus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
