Area of Science:

  • Trauma surgery
  • Head and neck surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Submandibular gland injuries are rare consequences of head and neck trauma.
  • Delayed diagnosis can lead to complications such as infection or salivary fistula.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a slowly enlarging neck mass 12 hours post-trauma.
  • Clinical examination revealed a palpable mass in the left neck region.

Findings:

  • Computed tomography (CT) imaging demonstrated a fracture involving the left submandibular gland.
  • Sialography confirmed the extent of the injury and potential ductal involvement.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering glandular injury in patients with neck trauma.
  • Accurate diagnosis via CT and sialography is crucial for appropriate management.
  • Prompt recognition and treatment can prevent long-term complications.
