Overview
Key CT Findings in Parotitis[1]
- Parotitis patients may present the following CT-scan findings:
- Sialolithiasis: salivary calculus may be found in the parotid gland, causing parotitis.[2]
- Unilateral or bilateral parotid gland swelling.
- Malignant or benign neoplasia in the parotid gland.
- Markers of parotid gland inflammation.
- Parotid gland abscess, resulting in parotitis.
- Lymphadenopathy from infectious causes of parotitis.
