Recanalization of the parotid duct with catheter after perforating trauma by a foreign body
Journal Title: Revista Uningá - Year 2021, Vol 58, Issue 1
Abstract
Obstruction and injury of salivary ducts by foreign bodies are uncommon. The most common forms of trauma to the parotid duct are due to sharp objects and even if they are not frequent, these injuries must be diagnosed and treated early in order to avoid secondary problems. The aim of this study is to report a clinical case of successful diagnosis and treatment of perforating lesion in the parotid duct caused by a foreign body. A 34-year-old male patient attended the Maringá University Hospital, reporting intraoral trauma on the right side with a wooden toothpick. After clinical examination, a foreign body was found in the right cheek mucosa region and a lesion in the parotid duct. The object was removed and the duct was recanalized with a silicone catheter. The patient attended the seven-day return with the cannula in position, without signs of infection and with active saliva drainage. The use of the silicone catheter was a viable alternative in the reconstruction of the parotid duct after perforating trauma by a foreign body.
