Abstrakt: Introduction: Despite being the second most common salivary disease in childhood, the aetiology and appropriate management of juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP) remains uncertain. Consequently patients may be misdiagnosed, or even undergo indeterminate or potentially invasive procedures without benefit. This article reviews the current understanding of the epidemiology and pathophysiology of JRP, and to appraise the management options available.
Methods and Results: Medline and Google Scholar databases were searched and peer reviewed journal articles assessed. The epidemiology of JRP remains uncertain, and the clinical presentation of JRP can vary widely in frequency and severity. Diagnosis is still largely based on clinical signs and symptoms including parotid swelling, pain and fever. Investigation typically focuses on the exclusion of other diseases and immunodeficiencies, however there are noted typical radiological findings on both ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. The ideal management of this condition still remains unclear, however symptoms typically resolve by puberty. Treatment focuses on minimally invasive procedures such as sialography and sialendoscopy to reduce the frequency and severity of acute episodes.
Conclusions: Acute episodes of JRP can occur up to 30 times per year and have a significant impact on the quality of life of an affected child. Consequently a management algorithm is proposed based on the exclusion of other pathology. There is increasing evidence for non-ablative, minimally invasive approaches such as sialography and sialendoscopy to reduce the impact of this disease.
