Majority of salivary gland stones (sialoliths) occur in the submandibular gland (Wharton's duct and parenchyma) accounting for 80% of cases, due to its anatomic features. The purpose of this article is to report a case series of submandibular duct salivary stone perforating the floor of the mouth and review the related literature regarding "submandibular duct stone perforating the floor of the mouth". This is 04 case report series reported to the clinic presenting with a tender hard mass beneath the tongue which is dull and intermittent pain while eating. Three cases had their submandibular stones transorally removed under local anesthesia with help of adson's forcep along with milking of the submandibular salivary gland. One case reported self-exfoliation of salivary stone early in the morning before the planned surgical procedure. Conservative treatment with transoral removal of submandicular duct stone should be considered. This will preserve the submandibular gland with minimum surgical trauma to the duct and also bestow full post -surgical function of the gland. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
