ABSTRACT
Acute transient salivary gland swelling is a rare complication of general anesthesia. These swellings usually resolve over a few hours without sequelae. The etiology of the salivary gland swelling is unclear. However, they are considered to be associated with cough or straining on the endotracheal tube and mechanical blockage of salivary gland duct. Anesthesiologists should know the possible causes, lack of clinical significance, and the course of these transient salivary gland swellings in order to reassure the patient. We report bilateral submandibular gland swelling developed after endotracheal anesthesia in a 4-year-old girl.
