Abstract:
Bilateral variation of the parotid gland is an anatomically rare entity. In this study, we present a 91-year-old female cadaver with aplasia of the parotid gland on the left side of the face and hypoplasia of the parotid gland on the right side of the face. The accessory parotid glands on both sides were of normal size, while bilateral submandibular glands were found to be larger than normal. The surgical anatomy of the parotid gland is very important because this region of the face is a complex structure intertwined with important vessels and nerves. Patients with aplasia, atresia, agenesis, or hypoplasia of the parotid gland should be diagnosed early and proper treatment must be planned. Consequently, this case was found to be remarkable in terms of the coexistence of parotid gland aplasia and hypoplasia.
摘要:
腮腺的双侧变异是解剖学上罕见的实体。在这项研究中,我们介绍了一个91岁的女性尸体,面部左侧腮腺发育不全,右侧腮腺发育不全。两侧副腮腺大小正常,而双侧颌下腺被发现大于正常。腮腺的手术解剖非常重要,因为面部的该区域是一个复杂的结构,与重要的血管和神经交织在一起。患有发育不全的患者,闭锁,发育不良,或腮腺发育不全应及早诊断,并必须计划适当的治疗。因此,发现该病例在腮腺发育不全和发育不全并存方面是显着的。
