Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effectiveness of ultrasound and CT scans for diagnosing salivary gland stones in 188 patients, with a focus on submandibular and parotid glands.
- It found that CT scans identified some stones missed by ultrasound, and certain techniques in ultrasound can improve accuracy.
- The research suggests avoiding CT for patients with dental work due to radiation concerns and recommends targeted ultrasound as a safer alternative.

Article Synopsis
- SPECT/CT imaging is utilized to evaluate lesions in the head and neck, specifically looking at the salivary glands in patients with Sjögren's syndrome and submandibular sialolithiasis.
- A study involving 45 patients revealed that maximum standardized uptake values (SUVs) for salivary glands were significantly lower in those with Sjögren's syndrome compared to those with sialolithiasis, indicating impaired gland function.
- The findings suggest that SPECT/CT can be an effective tool for assessing salivary gland health and function in these patient groups, aiding in clinical management.

Introduction: Cheek fistulas of salivary origin in children are very rare, predominantly of congenital or traumatic origin but rarely caused by parotid sialolithiasis given its low prevalence in paediatric populations.
Case Presentation: A 3-year-old child with no history other than substantial left-cheek swelling for 2 months was referred. We identified a cutaneous fistula with seropurulent discharge.

The parotid duct has been reported to be the most common site of sialoliths in horses. In this case report, we described the first confirmed case of the equine sialolithiasis in Slovakia. The work was aimed to describe the transcutaneous approach to removing the sialolith, which manifested as a hard painless mass in the area of the maxillary cheek teeth, in a 14-year-old Slovakian warmblood mare.
