A Case of Recurrent Pneumoparotid / 대한이비인후과학회지

ABSTRACT

Pneumoparotid is a rare cause of enlargement of the parotid gland that may result in pneumoparotitis. Recurrent pneumoparotid has been described in patients who generate increased intraoral pressures when playing wind instruments, and when attempting at cough suppression. We report a case of recurrent pneumoparotid developed following severe vomiting and review the literature surrounding this unusual entity.
