  • craniofacial and neck phlegmon with sepsis as a complication of the Parotid Gland Abscess a case report
    Wiedza Medyczna, 2019
    Co-Authors: Teresa Ryczer, Katarzyna Meczkowska, Artur Niedzielski
    Abstract:

    The diagnosis of acute bacterial parotitis usually does not cause much clinical concern due to the characteristic clinical signs and symptoms, such as pain and swelling of Parotid Gland associated with fever and elevated inflammatory markers in laboratory tests. Early diagnosis and accurate treatment result in fast recovery without complications. In rare cases, acute bacterial parotitis may cause severe complications, such as Parotid Gland Abscess or parapharyngeal space phlegmon. Parapharyngeal space phlegmon is a severe, life-threatening condition. It can spread to craniofacial and neck fascial spaces, mediastinum, and lead to sepsis and septic shock. Craniofacial and neck phlegmon requires prompt surgical treatment and intensive antibiotic therapy. In this case study, we present an 82-year-old woman with bacterial parotitis that resulted in multiple complications. The first complication was Parotid Gland Abscess, which caused extended craniofacial and neck phlegmon that led to sepsis. As a result of immediate intensive treatment, which consisted of broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, surgical drainage, and hydro-electrolyte imbalance management, the treatment ended in a success. The patient fully recovered and was discharged home in a good general condition.

  • Acute suppurative parotitis and Parotid Abscess in children
    International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 1995
    Co-Authors: Sima Nusem-horowitz, Michael Wolf, A. Coret, Jona Kronenberg
    Abstract:

    Abstract Acute suppurative parotitis and Parotid Gland Abscess are infrequently encountered among children. Fourteen children were diagnosed in the Sheba Medical Center as suffering from these infections and their clinical features are described. Discussion reveals neither significant differences nor predominating factors to differentiate between these two entities.

  • Case Report: Acute Suppurative Parotitis and Parotid Abscess in Young Children
    Nigerian journal of paediatrics, 2002
    Co-Authors: Y Fawehinmi
    Abstract:

    Acute suppurative parotitis in three children, aged between eight months and two years who presented within a period of one month is described. Despite prompt treatment with intravenous antibiotics, the swellings in two of the three progressed to Abscesses whose identification was facilitated by ultrasonic examination. The organism isolated from purulent specimens from the drained Abscesses consisted of Staphylococcus aureus, while one of the two that progressed to an Abscess had in addition, an anaerobic organism, Fusobaccterium nucleatum. All the three recovered completely. Based on our experience, it is advocated that the management of infants with suppurative parotitis should include adequate antibiotic cover for streptococcus, staphylococcus and bacteroides, while drainage, using Blair's modified incision should be undertaken where an Abscess is present. The efficacy of ultrasound examination in the diagnosis of Parotid Gland Abscess is highlighted. Nigerian Journal of Paediatrics 2002; 29:17-19.
