Introduction: Salivary fistula is the communicationof the salivary glands or the parotid duct to the skin, due toa traumatic injury to the parenchyma or the excretion duct; Itis not usually a frequent complication in acute parotitis. the eobjective of this work is to highlight the atypical presentation of acase of bacterial parotitis associated with salivary fistula towardsthe external auditory canal and oral cavity, and peripheralfacial paralysis. Clinical case: A 15-year-old male patient, whoconsulted due to otalgia and right otorrhea associated with anincrease in volume in the ipsilateral parotid region of 5 days ofevolution. On physical examination, an asymmetrical face withdeviation of the lip corner to the leth and complete palpebralclosure without effort, with increased volume of the rightparotid gland with signs of phlogosis, right purulent otorrhea and continuity solution in the middle third of the external auditory canal are evident. Ultrasound of the skin and so the tissues revealed inflammatory changes in the parotid glands with a collection of 112 cc. yhe tomographic findings of the middle ear and mastoids corroborated the findings of the echosonogram; Surgical drainage of the abscess was performed and he was treated with clindamycin 600 mg intravenously every 6 hours and crystalline penicillin 200 mg/kg/weight every 6 hours, and his evolution was satisfactory. Conclusion: Parotid abscesses can present atypically or rarely with drainage through the external auditory canal(AU)

Orocutaneous fistulas of odontogenic origin presenting as a recurrent pyogenic granuloma

Orocutaneous fistulas, or cutaneous sinuses of odontogenic origin, are uncommon but often misdiagnosed as skin lesions unrelated to dental origin by physicians. Accurate diagnosis and use of correct investigative modalities are important because orocutaneous fistulas are easily confused for skin or bone tumors, osteomyelitis, infected cysts, salivary gland fistulas, and other pathologies. The aim of this study is to present our experience with a patient with orocutaneous fistulas of odontogenic origin presenting as recurrent pyogenic granuloma of the cheek, and to discuss their successful treatment.

Primary treatment of early fistula of parotid duct with botulinum toxin type A injection

Abstract: Salivary duct injury can be idiopathic, iatrogenic, or post-trauma and may result in sialocele or fistula. Most injuries regress spontaneously and botulinum toxin A is one of several therapeutic possibilities. We report a case of iatrogenic injury to the parotid duct after Mohs' micographic surgery for a squamous cell carcinoma excision in the left jaw region, treated by injection of botulinum toxin type A. Although the fistula by duct injury can be self-limiting, botulinum toxin injection by promoting the inactivity of the salivary gland allows rapid healing of the fistula.

The Effect of Botulinum Toxin on an Iatrogenic Sialo-Cutaneous Fistula

A sialo-cutaneous fistula is a communication between the skin and a salivary gland or duct discharging saliva. Trauma and iatrogenic complications are the most common causes of this condition. Treatments include aspiration, compression, and the administration of systemic anticholinergics; however, their effects are transient and unsatisfactory in most cases. We had a case of a patient who developed an iatrogenic sialo-cutaneous fistula after wide excision of squamous cell carcinoma in the parotid region that was not treated with conventional management, but instead completely resolved with the injection of botulinum toxin. Based on our experience, we recommend the injection of botulinum toxin into the salivary glands, especially the parotid gland, as a conservative treatment option for sialo-cutaneous fistula.

Fatores preditores de fístula salivar pós-laringectomia total / Predictors of salivary fistula after total laryngectomy

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a incidência de fístula faringocutânea após laringectomia total e tentar identificar os fatores preditores. MÉTODOS: No período de maio de 2005 a abril de 2010, 93 pacientes foram submetidos à laringectomia total. Foram avaliadas as complicações per e pós-operatórias e comparadas com as seguintes variáveis: sexo, estado nutricional, traqueostomia prévia, localização do tumor primário, tipo de operação realizada, estadiamento de acordo com o TNM, tratamento prévio com quimioterapia e/ou radioterapia, utilização de retalhos para reconstrução e margem cirúrgica. Todos os pacientes apresentavam a neoplasia em estádio avançado segundo o TNM. RESULTADOS: 14 (15,1%) pacientes evoluíram com fístula salivar no pós-operatório. O tempo médio de aparecimento da fístula salivar foi 3,5 dias, com desvio padrão de 13,7 dias. Comparando a fístula salivar com as variáveis TNM, tipo de operação e esvaziamento cervical, traqueostomia prévia, utilização de retalho miocutâneo, rádio e quimioterapia pré-operatória e margem cirúrgica, não foi observado diferença estatisticamente significativa (p>0,05). CONCLUSÃO: A incidência de fístula salivar foi 15,1% e não foi encontrado fator preditor para sua formação.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the incidence of pharyngocutaneous fistula after total laryngectomy and try to identify its predictors. METHODS: From May 2005 to April 2010, 93 patients underwent total laryngectomy. We evaluated complications during and after surgery and compared them with the following variables: gender, nutritional status, previous tracheotomy, tumor location, type of surgery, TNM staging, prior treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, use of flaps for reconstruction and surgical margin. All patients presented with advanced neoplastic disease according to TNM. RESULTS: 14 (15.1%) patients developed postoperative salivary fistula. The mean time to onset of salivary fistula was 3.5 days, with a standard deviation of 13.7 days. Comparing salivary fistula with TNM variables, type of operation and neck dissection, prior tracheotomy, use of flap, preoperative radio and chemotherapy and surgical margin, there was no statistically significant difference (p> 0,05). CONCLUSION: The incidence of salivary fistula was 15.1% and no predictive factor for its formation was found.

Management of complications of Mycobacterium ulcerans disease: a three-year review

Infection with Mycobacterium ulcerans [MU] causes extensive destruction of tissues with the formation of large ulcers on exposed parts of the body. Healing leads to extensive scarring and other complications which may impair function. To document the complications of MU disease and the reconstructive surgery performed to correct them. Prospective from January 2010 to December 2012. Ahafo Ano, Amansie West, Asunafo, and Upper Denkyira districts of Ghana. Patients with unhealed lesions after completing 8 weeks of rifampicin and streptomycin treatment, and patients with complications of MU disease were selected and prepared for surgical treatment. 61 patients were treated successfully with rifampicin and streptomycin without complications. 65 patients presented with complications; they comprised 34 males and 31 females. Their ages ranged from 1 year 3 months to 80 years with mean age of 29.7 [S.D. 20.1]. The types of lesions seen were ulcers [54], contractures [7], chronic osteomyelitis [one], subluxation of knee joint [one], salivary gland fistula [one] and Marjolin's ulcer [one]. The lesions were distributed as follows: 69.2% on the lower, and 23.1% on the upper limbs, 6.2% on the head and neck and 1.5% on the trunk. Wound excision with or without skin grafting was done in 84.6% of patients, surgery for contractures in10.8%, and sequestrectomy, exploration and ligation of fistula, groin dissection and above knee amputation in 4.6%. Whilst ulcers, the commonest MU lesions, are being controlled with antibiotics, rare complications of the disease are also emerging

Laringectomia de resgate: utilização do retalho miocutâneo de peitoral maior na prevenção de fístula faringocutânea / The usefulness of a pectoralis major myocutaneous flap in preventing salivary fistulae after salvage total laryngectomy

Laringectomias de resgate estão associadas a altas taxas de complicações pós-operatórias. O uso de retalhos na reconstrução do trânsito faríngeo poderia reduzir a incidência destas complicações. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a utilidade do retalho miocutâneo de músculo peitoral maior na prevenção da fístula salivar no pós-operatório de laringectomia total de resgate. MÉTODO: Estudo retrospectivo, realizado de abril/2006 a maio/2011, com 31 pacientes portadores de CCE de laringe recidivado, tratados previamente com quimiorradioterapia ou radioterapia isolada, submetidos à laringectomia de resgate. Destes 31 pacientes, a reconstrução da faringe foi realizada com utilização do retalho miocutâneo de músculo peitoral maior em 19 (61%) casos, enquanto o fechamento primário ocorreu em 12 pacientes (39%). RESULTADOS: Foi observada taxa de fistula salivar em (16%) dos pacientes em que se utilizou o retalho e 58% nos pacientes submetidos a fechamento primário da faringe (p < 0,02). Não foi observada diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os grupos em relação ao tempo médio de aparecimento de fistula e reintrodução da dieta por via oral, bem como tempo de uso de cateter nasoentérico para alimentação. CONCLUSÃO: O retalho miocutâneo do músculo peitoral maior mostrou-se como opção capaz de reduzir incidência de fistula salivar em laringectomias de resgate.

Salvage laryngectomy in patients treated with organ preservation protocols is associated with high rates of postoperative complications. The use of non-irradiated tissue flaps in pharyngeal reconstruction could reduce the incidence of these complications. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the usefulness of the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap in preventing salivary fistulae during the postoperative period of salvage total laryngectomy (TL). MATERIALS AND METHOD: This retrospective study enrolled 31 patients operated between April of 2006 and May of 2011. All patients had advanced cancer at the time of the salvage procedure and had been treated with chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy alone. Pharyngeal reconstruction was performed using pectoralis major myocutaneous flap in 19 cases (61%); primary wound closure occurred in 12 patients (39%). RESULTS: Salivary fistulae occurred in 16% of the patients who received the flap and in 58% of the patients with primary closure of the pharynx (p < 0.02). No statistically significant differences were noted between the groups with respect to the mean time for fistula formation, reintroduction of an oral diet, or use of a nasoenteric tube for feeding. CONCLUSION: The pectoralis major myocutaneous flap was found to reduce the incidence of salivary fistulae in salvage laryngectomy procedures.

A Case of Parotid Gland Salivary Fistula Treated by Tympanic Neurectomy / 대한이비인후과학회지

The parotid gland salivary fistula is one of the complications following parotidectomy and can result in patient discomfort and wound infection. Various methods have been used for resolution of salivary gland fistula including non surgical and surgical management. Non-surgical managements such as pressure dressing, radiation therapy and pharmacotherapy are simple and safe but mostly require a relatively long period for healing. Surgical managements are recommended if conservative therapy and pharmacological intervention fail. Surgical options for parotid gland salivary fistula include total parotidectomy, salivary duct ligation, delayed primary repair of duct, and tympanic neurectomy. However, there is no uniform consensus regarding the surgical option of choice for parotid gland salivary fistula. Recently, we experienced a patient with a persistent parotid gland salivary fistula after parotidectomy, which was successfully treated by tympanic neurectomy. We found that the effect of tympanic neurectomy was not strong enough to be recommended as a method of choice for the clinical inactivation of persistent parotid gland salivary fistula. Therefore, we report this case for the first time in our country with the review of literatures.

A Case of Ectopic Salivary Gland with Fistula in the Anterior Neck / 대한이비인후과학회지

Ectopic salivary gland tissue represents an uncommon lesion, usually presenting as a discharging fistula in the anterior lower neck. Though the origin of this entity still remains unclear, it is thought to be a heteroplasia of the epithelium of the precervical sinus of His. We have experienced a case of ectopic salivary gland with cervical fistula in a 10-year-old. This was thought clinically to be the second branchial cleft cyst, but the pathology showed an ectopic salivary gland. This should be considered as one of the causes of a cystic neck mass or fistula in children.

Enucleação de adenoma pleomórfico: considerações terapêuticas e relato de caso / Enucleation of pleomorphic adenoma: therapeutic considerations and case report

O adenoma pleomórfico é o tumor benigno que representa cerca de 70 a 90% dos tumores das glândulas salivares. A parótida é a glândula salivar mais afetada, seguida das glândulas salivares menores localizadas na região posterolateral do palato. O tratamento de eleição consiste na excisão cirúrgica da lesão, com pequena margem de segurança, em virtude da grande possibilidade de recidiva, caso permaneçam células tumorais após enucleação. Este trabalho tem por objetivo relatar um caso clínico de adenoma pleomórfico localizado na região posterolateral,na junção entre os palatos duro e mole, tratado através de excisão cirúrgica. Os autores apresentam uma complicação pós-operatória dada pela necrose do tecido de fina espessura remanescente, na região de palato mole, após enucleação do adenoma, causando uma fístula buconasal de aproximadamente 5 mm. O fechamento desta fístula ocorreu pela reepitelização por segunda intenção, com integridade epitelial observada aos cinco meses do pósoperatório. Após quatro anos de acompanhamento, não existem evidências clínicas de recidiva tumoral.

The pleomorphic adenoma a benign tumor that represents around 70 to 90% of salivary gland tumors. The parotid is the gland most affected, followed by the minor salivary glands located in the posterolateral region ofthe palate. The treatment of choice is surgical excision of the lesion with a small margin of safety in view of the strong possibility of recurrence if tumor cells remain after enucleation. The purpose of this paper is to report a clinical case of pleomorphic adenoma in the posterolateral region at the junction between the hard and soft palates, treated by surgical excision. The authors present a postoperative complication caused by the necrosisof the thin remaining tissue in the region of the soft palate following enucleation of the adenoma, causing an oronasal fistula of approximately 5 mm. The closure of this fistula occurred as a result of reepithelialization by second intention, observed five months after surgery. After 4 years of follow-up there is no evidence of recurrence of the tumor.

Fístula salivar congênita: relato de três casos / Congenital salivary gland fistula: report of three cases

As fístulas salivares de origem congênita são má formações de incidência rara. Devem ser diferenciadas de fístulas de 2° arco branquial, pelas características clínicas distintas, como a ausência de episódios de infecção e drenagem abrupta, que aumenta durante a alimentação. Dúvidas ainda existem com relação à sua etiologia. As hipóteses existentes cogitam a migração anormal de tecidos embrionários e a heteroplasia de células ectodérmicas, que regridiriam no processo de diferenciação celular. A fistulografia da lesão mostra fundo de saco arboriforme e ajuda no diagnóstico diferencial da lesão. O tratamento é cirúrgico, com ressecção do trajeto da lesão e da glândula que a originou. Apresentamos três casos de fístulas salivares congênitas.

Salivary gland fistulas are rare malformations and should be differentiate from others draining sinuses pathologies, especially from the second branchial cleft sinuses. Precise pathogenesis is not fully understood. Clinically, the episodes of drainage are usually associated with a sense of fullness in the affected area and the amount of drainage usually increases during eating or mastication. A preoperative sinugram is helpful. The treatment is its excision. We present three cases of unusual salivary gland fistula.
