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.
