| Popis: | Sialolithiasis is a benign condition involving the formation of stones within the ducts of the major salivary glands: parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. It is the most frequent cause of salivary gland swelling, with a reported incidence of 1 in 10000–1 in 30000. It can obstruct the salivary ducts, leading to inflammation, superimposed bacterial infection termed sialadenitis, or, in rare cases, abscess formation. And decreased salivary flow rate. Treatment options for sialolithiasis, including sialogogues, direct massage of distal stones out of the duct, and other procedures, including interventional sialography, sialoendoscopy, and surgical management. In this article, we report a 20-year-old female presented with a case of sublingual gland Sialolithiasis treated with simply milking of the duct. |
