Blunt trauma to the parotid gland in child
Agrawal, Amit; Golhar, KB; Dwivedi, Sankalp; Baisakhiya, Nitish; Banode, Pankaj & Sachchar, Abhishek
Abstract
Blunt trauma to the parotid gland is extremely rare and requires considerable force. We present a unique case in which a child sustained parotid injury without any associated injury to the facial skeleton, parotid gland and ductal structures and managed successfully. A literature search revealed that this type of injury has not been reported previously.
