    Study Notes

    Road Traffic Accident (RTA) Mechanisms

    • Acceleration is a mechanism of trauma involved in RTAs
    • Deceleration is a mechanism of trauma involved in RTAs
    • Compression/Decompression is a mechanism of trauma involved in RTAs
    • Direct Collision Contact is a mechanism of trauma involved in RTAs
    • Shearing is a mechanism of trauma involved in RTAs
    • All of the above mechanisms are involved in RTAs

    Primary Survey Components

    • Airway patency with cervical control is a component of primary survey
    • Breathing is a component of primary survey
    • Circulation with Hage Control is a component of primary survey
    • Disability is a component of primary survey

    Salivary Glands

    • There are two main types of salivary glands: parotid gland and submandibular gland.

    Sialectasis

    • Dilatation of the ducts and alveoli
    • Can cause stagnation and recurrent infection
    • Differential diagnosis: Mumps (unilateral and recurrent)
    • Treatment: Antibiotics, may resolve within 15 years of age, but may need surgery in adults

    Infections/Inflammatory

    • Acute: viral or bacterial
    • Recurrent subacute or chronic
    • Chronic infections: TB
    • Granulomatous: Sarcoidosis

    Viral Parotitis

    • Bilateral
    • Painful
    • Associated with fever
    • Typically occurs in children
    • Swelling
    • Self-limited

    Acute Bacterial Sialadenitis

    • Predisposing factors: poor oral hygiene, dehydration, duct obstruction
    • Caused by Staph aureus
    • Clinical features: pain, swelling, hotness, redness, fever, and fluctuations
    • Treatment: MASHH (glandular massage, antibiotics, sialagogues, heat, and hydration) and drainage

    Recurrent Subacute and Chronic

    • Predisposing factors: sialectasis, stone, autoimmune diseases
    • Differential diagnosis of lymph node: relation to meal, bimanual, rolling, and inspection of the duct

    Salivary Stones

    • More common in the submandibular gland
    • Can be radio-opaque or radiolucent
    • Clinical features: pain and swelling
    • Treatment: removal of the stone

    Salivary Gland Fistula

    • External: caused by trauma or surgery
    • Internal: caused by a stone

    Degenerative Diseases

    • Sialectasis
    • Radiation sialadenitis

    Autoimmune Diseases

    • Salivary gland diseases

    Salivary Neoplasms

    • Various types of tumors that can occur in the salivary glands

    Diagnostic Findings in Patients with a Salivary Mass or Enlargement

    • Various diagnostic features and tests to identify salivary gland disorders
