Abstract:
The case of a patient with an extensive vertical laceration of the right cheek involving Stensen's duct is reported. Treatment of parotid duct injuries varies with location and type of the injury. Immediate repair of the duct can prevent troublesome and lengthy treatment at a later date, whereas ineffective primary management may lead to complications and render treatment much more difficult.
