Bilateral parotid glands aplasia: a case report and literature review
ConclusionsAbsence of salivary glands can have a debilitating effect on oral health and is often accompanied by other craniofacial abnormalities. However, relatively frequent asymptomatic course suggests that this rare malformation is probably underdiagnosed. Therefore, we propose systematic reporting of salivary gland aplasia to assess its true prevalence in general population.
