Dynamic imaging with sialography combined with sialendoscopy to manage a foreign body in Stensen's duct

Conclusions In selected cases, the management of obstructive sialadenitis can be improved with sialography in permitting dynamic imaging of salivary duct anatomy. Although ultrasound has evolved as a standard component of salivary gland assessment, sialography may complement imaging with ultrasound (or CT as in this case) to offer the highest acuity definition of the salivary ducts.
