Abstrakt: There are multiple management options for treatment of iatrogenic salivary fistulas including reduced oral intake, pressure dressings, total parotidectomy, tympanic neurectomy, surgical repair, radiation therapy, and pharmacotherapy. However, the optimal management of salivary fistulas is unclear due to uncertain efficacy and adverse outcomes. We present a case of a neonate that developed a submandibular fistula following removal of mandibular distractors and was ultimately successfully managed using intralesional botulinum toxin injection. The purpose of this communication is to summarize the management of this complication in the context of the current literature.
