Popis: A 17 years old male patient presented with continuous flow of clear watery discharge from his right cheek for 14 years following trauma. He had previous history of two surgical interventions but result was not satisfactory. The diagnosis was parotid fistulasialocele based on clinical examinationinvestigation. To repair this fistula we entered the sialocele cavity where saliva was accumulated between the superficial fasciaparotid fascia, then one end of feeding tube (5Fr) was placed at the bottom of the cavity and another end was fixed intra-orally to create a controlled fistula. After four weeks the feeding tube removed and a channel was made through which the salivary flow comes out, up to one year follow up resulting a satisfactory outcome.
