Objectives: To describe our experience using radiologically-guided balloon sialoplasty to successfully treat sialadenitis in two children as a single modality intervention.
Methods: A retrospective case series.
Results: Both children were successfully treated using balloon sialoplasty with complete and lasting resolution of their symptoms.
Conclusion: Paediatric sialadenitis secondary to salivary strictures are traditionally managed surgically. We believe that this is the first article to describe this intervention in such a series of children and that balloon sialoplasty is a safe technique and can be repeated as necessary, which should be considered as a management option in such paediatric cases.

Obstructive sialadenitis is the most common cause of non-malignant salivary gland disorders, with salivary gland strictures being responsible for approximately 23% of all benign obstructive disease. Significant advances in minimally invasive techniques, including radiologically-guided balloon sialoplasty, offer the potential for successful treatment with reduced complications. At present there is a paucity of follow-up data regarding patient outcomes and repeat interventions in those undergoing the procedure.

Ductal stricture is a common cause of obstructive salivary gland disease. Balloon dilatation of the parotid duct as a minimally invasive technique is currently carried out under fluoroscopic guidance or during sialendocopy. We present a case report of ultrasound-guided balloon dilatation.

Obstructive sialoadenitis is the most common non-neoplastic disorder of the salivary glands. With advances in the use of diagnostic and interventional sialoendoscopy in the major salivary glands, operations can often be less invasive and treatment can spare the gland and restore normal function. By using an expandable balloon catheter to dilate ductal stenosis during sialoendoscopy it is possible to dilate a stenotic duct and remove large stones with or without a basket.

Our aim was to assess the preliminary clinical outcomes of interventional radiology for salivary duct obstruction in relation to salivary duct strictures or calculi. A retrospective analysis of consecutive patients referred for endoluminal procedures by ENT surgeons during a 4-year period were identified. The procedure was performed by a single interventional radiologist under fluoroscopic guidance using wire baskets and angioplasty balloons.
