Overview

If left untreated, patients with sialolithiasis may progress to develop secondary infection and chronic sialadenitis. Common complications of sialolithiasis include infection and recurrence. Prognosis is generally good.

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Natural History

  • If left untreated, patients with sialolithiasis may progress to develop secondary infection and chronic sialadenitis and gland atrophy.[1]

Complications

Prognosis

  • Prognosis is generally good but very small number of patients with secondary infection may develop cellulitis, abscess and compromised airway.
