Salivary sialolithiasis is a well-known cause for obstructive disease of the submandibular and parotid glands. However, the condition frequently occurs unilaterally, and it is uncommon to find a patient reporting with stones in both submandibular or parotid glands. Children below the age of 16 years rarely suffer from salivary stones. Thus, bilateral sialoliths in a child are extremely rare, with only four previous cases been reported in the literature. This is an additional case report of bilateral submandibular sialolithiasis occurring in the hilar area in a 13-year-old boy.

Spontaneous cutaneous-parotid fistula of the cheek caused by sialolithiasis in a child: a case report.
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
January 2025
Otorhinolaryngology, Neurotology and Paediatric ENT Department, Pierre-Paul Riquet Hospital, Toulouse University Hospital, Toulouse, France.
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.

Introduction: We investigated complications and recurrence rates after surgical techniques for sialolith removal with intact and resected Wharton's duct of the submandibular gland.
Methods: The retrospective case-control analysis of a series analysed 271 surgical operations (2003-2022) for sialolithiasis performed at a hospital department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. The study compared two approaches: (1) pure endoscopic technique or pinpoint stone removal with Wharton's duct left intact and (2) transoral duct dissection or pinpoint stone removal technique, after which the duct was shortened.
Objectives: To compare the performance of ultrasonography with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) for detecting submandibular sialoliths.
Methods: Thirteen patients with suspected submandibular sialoliths who underwent ultrasonography and CT or MRI were included. Sialoliths were diagnosed using CT (11 cases) or MRI (two cases).
Venous malformation phleboliths mimicking submandibular sialadenitis in children.
BMJ Case Rep

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Panepistemiako Geniko Nosokomeio Attikon, Athens, Attica, Greece.
To report one paediatric patient who presented with a rare venous vascular malformation as a mass in the left submandibular region with a clinical picture compatible with sialadenitis. Phleboliths are a specific feature of venous malformations due to venous stasis and may mimic sialoliths on various imaging modalities. Thus venous malformations are often misdiagnosed as sialadenitis due to sialolithiasis.

Objectives: Sialendoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat obstructive salivary gland diseases. Previous studies in the topic have shown mixed results. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sialendoscopy through previous systematic reviews for different outcomes of several diseases.
