Abstract:
Transient acute sialadenitis after anesthesia, also known as "anesthesia mumps," is a rare phenomenon reported after surgery, typically associated with extensive surgeries. It is a complication that is usually self-resolving but, in rare cases, may lead to airway obstruction. The most common associated causes include dehydration, components of anesthesia, duct obstruction due to positioning, and external compression, among others. Here, we present the case of bilateral parotitis after an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a 76-year-old male.
