Our experience in the management of 20 patients with recurrent parotitis (RP) as an isolated symptom is reported. The clinical manifestations in all patients were pain, infection and swelling of the parotid gland on at least three separate occasions. The presence of obvious tumor or specific inflammation were exclusion criteria. Three patients benefited from radiological interventional treatment: two stones were removed from the main duct with a Dormia basket and one parotid duct stricture was dilated with a balloon catheter. The role of conventional or digital sialography and interventional radiology procedures in the diagnosis and management of RP is discussed. We proposed this approach as a therapeutic alternative to surgery, which is more aggressive and carries a risk of facial nerve damage.
