Abstract

Pneumoparotid is defined as the presence of air within the parotid gland or duct. Pneumoparotid is an extremely rare cause of parotid gland swelling. Pneumoparotid can be induced by air insufflation from oral cavity into the intraparotid salivary ducts, in condition like nose blowing, blowing up balloons, during extubation after general anesthesia while receiving positive pressure, rapid decompression while scuba diving, chronic attempts to suppress cough, and glassblowers. It can also be self-induced, and the literature contains an increasing number of reports involving pediatric and adolescent patients who induce parotid insufflation to avoid school or gain attention. Here, we report a case of pneumoparotid caused by habitual cheek inflating and improved with conservative treatment.

이하선 기종은 이하선 종대의 원인 중 매우 드문 질환으로, 이하선의 종창과 통증 등의 증상을 나타낸다. 이하선 기종은 유리 부는 직공이나 관악기 연주자 등 여러 구강 내 압력이 증가하는 상황에서 이하선 내로 공기가 들어가 발생할 수 있다. 저자들은 최근 습관적인 볼 부풀리기로 유발된 양측 이하선 기종 환자를 경험하고, 이에 대해 습관 교정을 통한 보존적 치료로 호전되었기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
