  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 10-year-old boy complained of recurrent swell-ing of both parotid regions. Blood analysis showed no elevation of white blood cell count, CRP or amylase. Radiologic evaluation disclosed pneumo-parotitis associated with subcutaneous emphysema. Further investigation revealed that the psychologi-cal problems accounted for the recurrent swelling and that he self-inflated his parotid glands. Self-induced pneumoparotitis has been reported to be a condition found in adolescents who often have psychosocial problems. Relieving the patient from tension in addition to quitting self-inflation leaded to the improvement of the recurrent parotid swell-ing.
