SIALOCELE PAROTÍDEA DECORRENTE DE ACESSO EXTRA ORAL PARA TRATAMENTO DE FRATURAS MANDIBULARES: REVISÃO DE LITERATURA DE UMA RARA COMPLICAÇÃO.

This article is a literature review on a rare complication called parotid sialocele, which can occur as a result of extraoral access for the treatment of mandibular fractures. Sialocele is defined as edema caused by the spillage of mucin without proper drainage and can be caused by trauma or surgical procedures, such as parotidectomy. The review found 8 cases of sialocele after 365 extraoral accesses, with different treatment approaches and resolution periods. This complication should be considered when performing extraoral access for the treatment of condylar fractures. [Extracted from the article]
