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
- Common complications of sialolithiasis include:[2]
- Infection
- Recurrence
- Sialadenitis ( inflammation of salivary gland)
- Abscess
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally good but very small number of patients with secondary infection may develop cellulitis, abscess and compromised airway.
