Abstract
-
Primary lesions arising from the salivary glands in children are rare.
-
Salivary gland disorders in the pediatric age group can be divided into two general categories: (1) salivary gland masses and (2) sialorrhea in neurologically disabled children.
-
Salivary gland masses in the pediatric age group are more likely to consist of vascular anomalies and infectious and inflammatory lesions than epithelial glandular tumors.
-
When oral motor therapy either fails or is not feasible for neurologically devastated children with sialorrhea, management options include pharmacotherapy or surgery designed to either redirect the flow of saliva or to decrease saliva production.
