About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Salivary Glands Disorders”.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about salivary gland disorders, conditions that affect the normal functioning of the salivary glands, which are responsible for producing saliva. Saliva helps to lubricate the mouth and aids in the digestion of food.

There are several types of salivary gland disorders, including:

Sialadenitis: This is inflammation of the salivary glands, which can be caused by infection or other factors. Symptoms may include pain and swelling in the affected gland, fever, and difficulty opening the mouth.
Salivary gland stones: These are small, hard deposits that form in the salivary glands and can block the flow of saliva. Symptoms may include pain and swelling in the affected gland, and difficulty opening the mouth.
Salivary gland tumors: These are abnormal growths that can develop in the salivary glands. Symptoms may include a lump or swelling in the affected gland, numbness in the face, and difficulty moving the facial muscles.
Dry mouth: This is a condition in which the salivary glands do not produce enough saliva, which can cause dryness and discomfort in the mouth.

Treatment for salivary gland disorders depends on the underlying cause and may include medication, surgery, or other interventions to manage symptoms and promote healing. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any persistent symptoms related to the salivary glands.

Slide 1-

Salivary Glands Disorders
Slide 2-

Anatomical Considerations Two submandibular Two Parotid Two sublingual > 400 minor salivary glands
Slide 3-

Minor salivary glands These lie just under mucosa. Distributed over lips, cheeks, palate, floor of mouth & retro-molar area. Also appear in upper aerodigestive tract Contribute 10% of total salivary volume.
Slide 4-

Sublingual Salivary glands This is the smallest of the major salivary glands. The almond shaped gland lies just deep to the floor of mouth mucosa between the mandible & Genioglossus muscle. It is bounded inferiorly by the Mylohyoid muscle Sublingual gland has no true fascial capsule. It lacks a single dominant duct. Instead, it is drained by approximately 10 small ducts (the Ducts of Rivinus)
Slide 5-

Submandibular Gland This gland lies in the submandibular triangle formed by the anterior and posterior bellies of the Digastric muscle and the inferior margin of the mandible. The gland forms a ‘C’ around the anterior margin of the Mylohyoid muscle, which divides the gland into a superficial and deep lobe.
Slide 6-

Submandibular Gland…… Wharton’s duct empties into the intraoral cavity lateral to the lingual frenulum on the anterior floor of mouth
Slide 7-

Parotid Gland The parotid gland represents the largest salivary gland The following lists the boundaries of the parotid compartment: •Superior border – Zygoma •Posterior border – External Auditory Canal •Inferior border – Styloid Process, Styloid Process musculature, Internal Carotid Artery, Jugular Veins •Anterior border – a diagonal line drawn from the Zygomatic root to the EAC
Slide 8-

Parotid Gland…… 80% of the gland overlies the Masseter and mandible. The remaining 20% of the gland (the retromandibular portion This portion of the gland lies in the Prestyloid Compartment of the Parapharyngeal space
Slide 9-

Parotid Gland…… Stensen’s duct arises from the anterior border of the Parotid and parallels the Zygomatic arch, 1.5 cm inferior to the inferior margin of the arch. It runs superficial to the masseter muscle, then turns medially 90 degrees to pierce the Buccinator muscle at the level of the second maxillary molar where it opens onto the oral cavity.
Slide 10-

Parotid Gland…… Cranial Nerve VII divides it into 2 surgical zones (the superficial and deep lobes). After exiting the foramen, it turns laterally to enter the gland at its posterior margin. The nerve then branches at the Pes Anserinus (goose’s foot) approximately 1.3 cm from the stylomastoid foramen. The nerve then gives rise to 2 divisions: 1)Temperofacial (upper) 2)Cervicofacial (lower)
Slide 11-

Parotid Gland…… Followed by 5 terminal branches: 1)Temporal 2)Zygomatic 3)Buccal 4)Marginal Mandibular 5)Cervical
Slide 12-

Functions of saliva include the following: It has a cleansing action on the teeth It moistens and lubricates food during mastication and swallowing It dissolves certain molecules so that food can be tasted It begins the chemical digestion of starches through the action of amylase, which breaks down polysaccharides into disaccharides. The saliva from the parotid gland is a rather thin, watery fluid, but the saliva from the sublingual and the submandibular glands contains mucus and is much thicker.
Slide 13-

Disorders of minor salivary Glands Extravasation Cysts Follow trauma MSG with in lower lip Visible painful swelling Some resolve spontaneously or require surgery
Slide 14-

Disorders of minor salivary Glands MSG tumours are rare but 90% are malignant Common sites include Upper lip Palate Retromolar regions Rare sites are nose/PNS/Pharynx
Slide 15-

Disorders of minor salivary Glands Benign tumours present as painless slow growing swellings, overlying ulceration is rare. Malignant tumours have firmer consistency and have ulceration at later stage
Slide 16-

Disorders of minor salivary Glands Benign tumors of palate < 1cm in size are removed by excisional biopsy When size larger than 1 cm prior incisional biopsy is done Malignant tumors are managed by excision which may involve low-level or total maxillectomy and immediate reconstruction
Slide 17-

Disorders of sublingual salivary Glands Problems are rare Minor mucous retention cysts Plunging ranula is a retention cyst that tunnels deep Nearly all tumours are malignant
Slide 18-

Plunging ranula Rare form of retention cyst May arise from SM/SL SG Mucous collects around gland Penetrates Mylohyoid muscle to enter neck Soft painless fluctuant dumb-bell shaped swelling Surgical excision via neck
Slide 19-

Disorders of sublingual salivary Glands Tumours are rare 90% are malignant Wide excision and simultaneous neck dissection
Slide 20-

Disorders of submandibular salivary Glands Acute sialadenitis Viral (Mumps) Bacterial secondary to infection More Common Secondary to obstruction Poor capacity to recover Despite control with Abx chronicity follows and requires surgical excision
Slide 21-

Chronic Sialadenitis Commonly due to obstruction following stone formation 80% salivary stones occur in SMSG High mucous content Acute painful swelling rapidly precipitated by eating & resolves within 1-2 hours Enlarged bimanually palpable SMG Marsuplisation/Excision
Slide 22-

Tumors of Submandibular Salivary Glands Uncommon, slow growing, painless Only 50% are benign Even malignant tumours can be slow growing Pain is not a reliable feature Investigations: CT/MRI FNAC No open biopsy
Slide 23-

Management Small & encased within capsule intracapsular excision Large benign tumors– suprahyoid excision Malignant tumours require concomitant neck dissection
Slide 24-

Disorders of parotid Glands Common causes of parotid swelling: Mumps Acute bacterial sialadenitis in dehydrated elderly patients Acute bacterial parotitis Obstructive parotitis: causes swelling at meal time
Slide 25-

Parotid Tumours Most Common is pleomorphic adenoma (80-90%) Low grade Tumors like acinic cell carcinoma are not distinguishable from benign High grade Tumours grow rapidly, are often painful and have nodal metastasis CT/MRI are useful FNAC better than open biopsy Tx should be excised & not enucleated
Slide 26-

Classification of Parotid Tumours Adenoma Pleomorphic Monomorphic (Warthin’s Tumour) Carcinoma Low grade (Acinic cell/Adenoid cystic) High grade (Adenocarcinoma/SCC)
Slide 27-

Management Superficial parotidectomy most common procedure Radical parotidectomy is performed for patients clear histological evidence of high grade malignancy
Slide 28-

Tumour like lesions Sialadenosis Diabetes Alcoholism Endocrine disorders Pregnancy Bulimia
Slide 29-

Sjogren Syndrome Autoimmune condition causing progressive degeneration of salivary and lachrymal glands The oral aspects of primary Sjogren's syndrome consist of mucosal atrophy (80% to 95%), salivary gland enlargement approximately 30 %), The oral manifestations may include xerostomia with or without salivary gland enlargement, candidiasis, dental caries and taste dysfunction.
Slide 30-

Investigations Sialometry Sialography Scintigraphy a radioactive tracer is given by vein that is subsequently taken up by the salivary glands and gradually eliminated within the salivary fluid Sialochemistry Ultrasonogram Labial or minor salivary gland biopsy
Slide 31-

Management Symptomatic From the systemic drug treatment standpoint, immunosuppressive therapy in the form of corticosteroids or cytotoxic drugs have proven effective, in particular when symptoms are severe. A drug known as Plaquenil has also proven to be helpful in some cases with open questions remaining as to the role of alpha interferon and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
