Lithiasis and stenosis may cause salivary duct dilatation due to the increased pressure in the duct upstream of the obstruction. Idiopathic dilatations, also called megaducts, with no associated increase in pressure, have only been described in the parotid gland. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of submandibular duct dilatation unrelated to lithiasis, stenosis, or an imperforate duct, to report the existence of submandibular megaducts.

LITHIASIC SALIVARY GLAND PATHOLOGIES. Sialolithiasis is the most frequent pathology affecting the salivary glands. Almost 80% of these lithiasis affect the submandibular gland, in the Wharton duct whilst 20% occur in the parotid gland in the Stenon duct.

The purpose of this paper was to describe the characteristics of salivary calculi and their relationship to epidemiological factors, through a cross-sectional study. We analysed 100 calculi obtained in 2017-2021. Patient data including age, time since onset of symptoms, gland involved, and site of location in the salivary system were studied.

Article Synopsis
- - Chronic obstructive sialadenitis (COS) is a recurring inflammation of salivary glands, with stricture being the most common cause found in a study of 333 patients undergoing sialendoscopy.
- - Factors such as lack of papilla distensibility (LPD), gender, and age were linked to COS, with submandibular gland issues often caused by lithiasis, while parotid gland problems were mostly due to stricture.
- - MR sialography (MR-Si) was the most effective diagnostic tool used, showcasing high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing COS, alongside newly identified associations between patient demographics and disease etiology.

Introduction: Salivary glands lithiasis (Sialolithiasis) is defined as calcified concretions in the salivary glands. Most common localization is in submandibular gland. Usually, submandibular stones are mainly located in Wharton's duct, whereas parotid stones are more often located in the gland parenchyma.
