Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Acute suppurative sialadenitis is uncommon in neonates, typically involving the parotid gland.
  • Submandibular gland involvement presents a diagnostic and management challenge in this age group.

Observation:

  • A case of a 7-day-old infant with a neck abscess is presented.
  • The abscess was associated with suppurative sialadenitis of the right submandibular gland.

Findings:

  • The case demonstrates an unusual presentation of neonatal salivary gland infection.
  • Discussion covers potential etiologies, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies for this rare condition.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering submandibular sialadenitis in neonatal neck masses.
