Article Synopsis
  • - Transient acute sialadenitis, or "anesthesia mumps," is a rare complication following surgery, particularly extensive procedures, and often resolves on its own but can potentially cause airway obstruction in rare cases.
  • - Common causes of this condition include dehydration, anesthesia components, duct obstruction from positioning, and external pressure.
  • - A case presentation highlights a 76-year-old male who developed bilateral parotitis after undergoing an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Acute postoperative transient sialadenitis, also known as anesthesia mumps, is a rare condition that is transient, usually benign, and self-limiting in nature involving unilateral or bilateral parotid glands. The exact mechanism and etiology have not been fully explained, but the causative factors may include, pneumoparotitis, venous congestion, excess saliva secretion, surgical position, perioperative dehydration, and perioperative use of drugs such as atropine, succinylcholine, morphine, ephedrine, and propofol. We report a case of a 31-year-old pregnant lady who was admitted for elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.

Anesthesia mumps have rarely been reported. This article presents the diagnosis and treatment of a case of anesthesia mumps with airway obstruction in the urology department and reviews previous cases of the disease. A 58-year-old man had a history of hypertension and diabetes, and his blood pressure and glucose levels were well controlled.

A rare but well-known anesthetic side effect is acute parotid gland enlargement after general anesthesia, sometimes known as anesthesia mumps or acute post-operative sialadenitis. Acute dehydration, obstruction of glandular excretory ducts caused by the position of the patient, and/or medications such as atropine that increase saliva viscosity have all been proposed as potential causes, while the specific cause is still unknown. We present a case of a 41-year-old patient who underwent a right open anatrophic pyelolithotomy for a staghorn calculus in the left lateral decubitus position and had swelling in the right and left preauricular and postauricular regions, which had progressed to the angle of the mandible post-operatively.
