sialadenitis

It can also cause sialadenitis, which is more common in older individuals.

The exact cause of sialadenitis is not known.

The most common sialadenitis is caused by staphylococci, as bacterial infections.

Inflammation of a salivary gland is termed sialadenitis.

Inflammation associated with blockage of the duct is sometimes termed "obstructive sialadenitis".

Histopathology studies should show focal lymphocytic sialadenitis.

Salivary gland infection, or sialadenitis.

Sialadenitis creates a painful lump in the gland and foul-tasting pus drains into the mouth.

Most strictures could be seen in the parotid duct and mostly in the disease process of chronic recurrent sialadenitis.

It can also cause sialadenitis (an inflammation of the salivary gland), gastrointestinal disturbances, allergic reactions and rashes.

Ascending (suppurative) sialadenitis - an infection of the major salivary glands (usually the parotid gland) which may be recurrent.

Salivary gland stones are one of the major causes of salivary gland infections (sialadenitis).

In addition, chronic lymphocytic sialadenitis has been found in patients with different types of liver cirrhosis [ 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 ] .

Sialoendoscopy is a minimally invasive technique that allows for salivary gland surgery for the safe and effective treatment of sialadenitis and other conditions of the salivary glands.

Acute complications include oropharyngeal mucositis, sialadenitis and xerostomia, infections (primarily candidiasis), and taste dysfunction; occasionally tissue necrosis can be seen late during therapy, but this is relatively rare.

Salivary calculi sometimes are associated with other salivary diseases, e.g. sialoliths occur in two thirds of cases of chronic sialadenitis, although obstructive sialadentitis is often a consequence of sialolithiasis.

In chronic recurrent sialadenitis or chronic sclerosing sialadenitis, acute attacks are managed with conservative therapies such as hydration, analgesics (mainly NSAIDs), sialogogues to stimulate salivary secretion, and regular, gentle gland massage.

Obstructive salivary gland disease, or obstructive sialadenitis, may also occur due to fibromucinous plugs, duct stenosis, foreign bodies, anatomic variations, or malformations of the duct system leading to a mechanical obstruction associated with stasis of saliva in the duct.
