Non-traumatic Stensen's duct sialocele on MR Sialography

Dr. Vinothkumar. V, Dr. M. Jagadeswari, Dr. Anish. N, Dr. I Venkatraman

Abstract :

Sialoceles are subcutaneous cystic cavity, usually containing saliva that arises from leakage of saliva into glandular or periglandular tissues secondary to damaged salivary gland or salivary duct. The most common causes of this rare condition are facial trauma, surgery or infections. Very rarely, sialoceles of Stensen�s duct may occur without trauma. To the best of our knowledge only one case of non–traumatic Stensen�s duct sialocele has been described previously on MRI [1].
