ABSTRACT
Sialorrhea, or drooling, is defined as excessive salivary spillage from the mouth. The exact pathophysiology of drooling is unknown but appears to be a defect in the oral phase of swallowing. The most common cause of drooling is cerebral palsy in children and Parkinson disease in adults. Drooling can cause various medical and psychosocial problems. Various treatment modalities include physical therapy, anticholinergic medications, botulinum toxin injection into salivary glands, and surgical procedures. We report a case of 22-year-old woman with excessive drooling during sleep, which was treated with Wharton's duct relocation.
