Abstract

Sialoliths are the most common disease of the salivary glands which the obstruction of a salivary gland or its excretory duct by a calculus. They occur in any ages and mostly submandibular salivary glands. Minor salivary glands and sublingual gland are rarely affected. Sizes range from 1 to 10 mm. Sialoliths are diagnosed by conventional radiographic techniques, ultrasonography, sialography, magnetic resonance imaging and computerized tomography in addition to clinic examination. Large sialoliths should be removed surgically as they may cause partial or complete obstruction of the salivary gland duct. This case report aims to present the conventional radiological and ultrasonographic findings of a sialolith in Warthon's duct of a male patient who applied to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Atatürk University, Faculty of Dentistry.

Özet

Sialolitler, tükürük bezinin bez veya sekresyon kanallarının taş tarafından tıkandığı en yaygın hastalığıdır. Herhangi bir yaşta ve sıklıkla submandibular tükürük bezinde görülür. Minör tükürük bezleri ve sublingual bez nadiren etkilenir. Boyutları 1- 10 mm arasında değişir. Klinik muayene ile birlikte konvansiyonel radyografi teknikleri, ultrasonografi, sialografi, manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ve bilgisayarlı tomografi ile teşhis edilirler. Büyük sialolitler tükürük bezi kanalının kısmen veya tamamen tıkanmasına neden olabileceği için cerrahi olarak çıkarılmalıdır. Bu vaka raporu Atatürk Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi, Ağız, Diş ve Çene Radyolojisi Anabilim Dalı’ na başvuran bir erkek hastanın Warthon kanalında görülen bir sialolitin konvansiyonel radyolojik ve ultrasonografik bulgularını sunmayı amaçlamıştır.
