Frey's syndrome (also known as Baillarger's syndrome, Dupuy's syndrome, auriculotemporal syndrome, [ 1] or Frey-Baillarger syndrome) is a rare neurological disorder resulting from damage to or near the parotid glands responsible for making saliva, and from damage to the auriculotemporal nerve often from surgery. [ 1][ 2]
Sialadenitis ( sialoadenitis) is inflammation of salivary glands, usually the major ones, the most common being the parotid gland, followed by submandibular and sublingual glands. [ 1] It should not be confused with sialadenosis (sialosis) which is a non-inflammatory enlargement of the major salivary glands. [ 2]
Sialolithiasis (also termed salivary calculi, [1] or salivary stones) [1] is a crystallopathy where a calcified mass or sialolith forms within a salivary gland, usually in the duct of the submandibular gland (also termed "Wharton's duct"). Less commonly the parotid gland or rarely the sublingual gland or a minor salivary gland may develop ...
Sialodochitis (also termed ductal sialadenitis), is inflammation of the duct system of a salivary gland. This is compared to sialadenitis, which is inflammation of the gland parenchyma. Sialodochitis may be associated with salivary duct strictures and salivary stones. It is common in both the parotid glands and submandibular glands.
Chronic sclerosing sialadenitis is a chronic (long-lasting) inflammatory condition affecting the salivary gland. Relatively rare in occurrence, this condition is benign, but presents as hard, indurated and enlarged masses that are clinically indistinguishable from salivary gland neoplasms or tumors. It is now regarded as a manifestation of IgG4 ...
Blockage of the submandibular gland by a salivary stone with subsequent infection. Arrow marks pus coming out of the opening of the submandibular gland. Salivary gland diseases ( SGDs) are multiple and varied in cause. [1] There are three paired major salivary glands in humans: the parotid glands, the submandibular glands, and the sublingual ...
Hypersalivation. Other names. Ptyalism, [ 1] sialorrhea, [ 2] water brash. Specialty. Oral and maxillofacial surgery. Hypersalivation or hypersialosis is the excessive production of saliva. [ 3] It has also been defined as increased amount of saliva in the mouth, which may also be caused by decreased clearance of saliva. [ 4]
The main feature of Behçet's disease is aphthous-like ulceration, but this is usually more severe than seen in aphthous stomatitis without a systemic cause, and typically resembles major or herpetiforme ulceration or both. [7] [16] Aphthous-like ulceration is the first sign of the disease in 25–75% of cases. [6]
