Popis: Summary Recurrent swelling of one or both parotid gland is relatively frequent in children. Self-induced pneumoparotitis is a rare cause of recurrent parotitis. Clinicians may misdiagnose self-induced pneumoparotitis which may present with complications and needs specific treatment. We present a case initially suspected as a parotid cellulitis. The diagnosis was based on clinical history and radiological findings.
