Observation:

This case report details a post-traumatic parotid sialocoele, defined as a subcutaneous collection of parotid secretions.
The clinical presentation and diagnostic considerations for this condition are discussed.

Findings:

The study highlights the necessity of thoroughly examining facial lacerations to rule out concurrent parotid gland injury.
Delayed diagnosis of parotid gland injury can lead to complications.

Implications:
