Diagnosis of Sialodochitis
- Can be detected on CT scan or MRI scan as enhancement and dilation of the duct (sialectasis)
- Sialography shows segments of duct dilation and stenosis, resembling a sausage link appearance
- Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms and imaging findings
- Biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis
- Differential diagnosis includes salivary gland tumors and other inflammatory conditions

Sialodochitis Fibrinosa
- Rare condition associated with allergic reactions
- Sudden swelling of salivary glands
- Linked to other allergic conditions such as asthma, urticaria, allergic rhinitis, and food allergy
- Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation and exclusion of other causes
- Treatment involves managing the underlying allergy and symptomatic relief

Sialodochitis (Wikipedia)

Sialodochitis (also termed ductal sialadenitis), is inflammation of the duct system of a salivary gland. This is compared to sialadenitis, which is inflammation of the gland parenchyma.

Sialodochitis may be associated with salivary duct strictures and salivary stones.

It is common in both the parotid glands and submandibular glands.

The treatment is as for sialadenitis.
