Abstract

Chronic obstructive inflammatory disease of salivary glands is the most frequent disease of the salivary glands and is characterized by recurrent swelling and pain caused by pressure. Sialography is recommended for the diagnosis of obstructive sialadenitis to observe changes in duct morphology, such as stricture and dilatation. Intraductal irrigation using normal saline is a simple treatment for patients with chronic obstructive inflammatory disease by removing the microlith and mucous plugs in the duct. It can be used as a conservative treatment option for resolving the obstructive symptoms.
