A recent publication noted the apparent lack of serious complications of dilatation of salivary canals, based on a review of 16 cases. This is contested by the report of three cases of dilatation of Stensen's duct complicated by lithiasis and stenosis, with associated canalar pseudo-cysts. Surgical excision was required and allowed study of histopathology of this affection.

Sialodochitis fibrinosa is a rare disease characterized by paroxysmal swelling of the salivary glands and discharge of fibrous masses containing eosinophils from the salivary gland orifice. Diagnosis was traditionally based on irregular dilation of the main salivary duct by sialography, but now includes the imaging findings of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In the present patient, short TI inversion recovery (STIR) MRI sequence was able to identify Stensen's duct dilation and additionally depict cystic dilation due to stenosis of the orifice and multiple cystic dilations within the parotid gland body.

Background: Facial paralysis due to parotid sialolithiasis-induced parotitis is a unusual clinical phenomenon that has not been reported in prior literature. This scenario can present a diagnostic challenge due to its rarity and complex symptomatology, particularly if a patient has other potential contributing factors such as facial trauma or bilateral forehead botox injections as in this patient. This case report elucidates such a complex presentation, aiming to increase awareness and promote timely recognition among clinicians.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the genetic factors contributing to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a significant cause of heart failure.
- Researchers conducted a large genome-wide association study, identifying two new genetic loci associated with DCM and confirming previous ones, suggesting a strong link between certain genetic variations and increased risk of the disease.
- The findings highlight potential candidate genes, SLC6A6 and SMARCB1, which may be involved in the dysfunction of heart muscle, offering insights into new biological pathways related to heart failure.
