Abstract:
There are multiple causes of acute parotid swelling, including viral and bacterial infections, duct obstruction, neoplasms and enlargement accompanying connective tissue disease. Another possible cause of parotid swelling is pneumoparotid. Patients with pneumoparotid typically present with painless swelling in the parotid region with crepitus on palpation. We present a rare case of pneumoparotid with initial presentation of viral parotitis in the epidemic area of mumps.
