Abstract

Sialoendoscopy is a novel procedure for visualizing the lumen of the salivary ducts and their pathology. Sialoendoscopy has been validated for the diagnosis and treatment of non-neoplastic disorders of the salivary glands, including sialolithiasis. In this article, we present a 40-year-old female case sialolithiasis with a parotid abscess. The diagnosis and treatment was performed endoscopically.
