Abstract

ABSTRACT

The etiology of parotitis is unclear, but some possible causes such as obstruction of glandular excretory ducts caused by patient’ or endotracheal tube position and increase in the viscosity of the saliva because of acute dehydratation and/or medications like morphine, atropin have been proposed. In this study, we present a case of acute parotitis in a 21-year-old girl in neuor-intensive care unit 5 hours later the extubation following supratentorial craniotomy under general anesthesia.
