ABSTRACT
Salivary gland stones [Sialothiasis] most commonly occur in the Submandibular duct. This report describes the case of a patient who had an unusual large Submandibular gland sialolith [calculus] that was completely obstructing the Submandibular gland duct and the use of the computed tomography [CT] as a diagnostic aid and a surgical guide. Patients with sialolithiasis require definitive surgical treatment in most cases, which results in an excellent prognosis
