The risk for facial nerve injury has been reported to be increased with the inclusion of superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) elevation as compared with a skin-only face lift. The facial nerve courses through the parotid gland. The SMAS is elevated superficial to the parotid gland. However, in elevating the ...

Methods and Materials: One hundred eight patients treated with radiotherapy for various malignancies of the head and neck were prospectively evaluated using three methods. Parotid gland function was ...
Cervical lymphadenectomy of level II encompasses lymph nodes associated with the upper internal jugular vein and the spinal accessory nerve (SAN). Removal of tissue superior to the SAN (submuscular recess-(SMR)) was recently shown to be unwarranted in selected cases of squamous-cell cancer.

Feline parotid salivary duct sialocele is an uncommon disorder that has been previously reported in association with traumatic rupture of the duct in only two cats. Both cases were successfully treated by proximal duct ligation. We describe the successful surgical treatment of a parotid duct sialocele, secondary to spontaneous salivary duct stenosis, in an ...
Acini in the parotid gland of the North American mink (Mustela vision) are composed of seromucous cells that contain secretory granules of peculiar morphology. Many of the granules consist of a light matrix in which is embedded an inclusion made up of dense, frequently parallel rodlets in a fibrillar material of moderate density. Like the submandibular ...

With 3 figures SUMMARY: To document computed tomographic topography of salivary glands and their ducts in dogs, a retrograde filling with methylcellulose and iodinated contrast medium was performed in three cadavers. Demarcation of the parotid, mandibular and zygomatic glands was achieved. Surrounding structures were imaged without ...
The anatomy of the buccal region of the face is complex and injuries in this region can lead to significant complications. Trauma in this region can easily injure the parotid duct and facial nerve. The management of parotid duct injuries is usually by microsurgical anastomosis, diversion of salivary flow by creating an oral fistula, or suppression of ...
Rat and bovine parotid gland and pancreas contain deoxyribonuclease I (DNAase I) activities in different amounts. The DNAase I activity in tissue homogenates of bovine and rat parotid gland can be inhibited by addition of monomeric actin, as with the enzyme of bovine pancreas. The isolated DNAase I species from ...

Parotid gland tuberculosis is rare and may present in different clinical forms. We present three cases of tuberculosis of the parotid gland that presented to us with different clinico-pathological appearances. The cases were diagnosed on the basis of histopathological evaluation and fine needle aspiration cytology. ...
Tuberculosis of the parotid gland is a rare condition. We describe a case of tuberculosis of right parotid gland in a 17-year-old male patient.

We describe a case of the isolation of Bartonella quintana from the parotid gland of an apparently healthy man. Pathological examination showed intraparotid granulomatous abscessual lymphadenitis. Diagnosis was made on the basis of high titers of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM antibodies and of culture isolation of a causative agent from ...
Successful parotid surgery depends on the careful identification and dissection of the facial nerve, and to prevent recurrence all tumours should be excised with a wide margin of normal tissue. These two requirements are facilitated by the technique of intra-vital staining of the parotid gland with 2.5% methylene blue solution. ...
The paper introduces a helical tomotherapy (HT) adaptive system in assessment of parotid gland dose variation in head and neck cancer. The system, which helical therapy unit is equipped with, is based on megavoltage computed tomography (MVCT) images to calculate the actual volume and dose of region of interest (ROI). Whether to change plan is judged on the ...
