  • Title: Idiopathic sialectasis of the Stensen's duct treated with marsupialisation.
    Author: Lohia S, Joshi AS.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2013 Nov 14; 2013():. PubMed ID: 24234433.
    Abstract:
    Sialectasis is an uncommon medical condition of the salivary glands. Conservative treatments of sialectasis include repeated aspiration, compression, dilation of the papilla and stent placement. This is the first reported case that we know of, using marsupialisation for distal sialectasis. Our case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges posed by sialectasis and demonstrates the efficacy of marsupialisation for distally based sialectasis when conservative treatments fail.
