Abstract
|
|
|
The salivary stone can be found in all salivary glands or ducts but mainly in the submandibular gland or duct.
The submandibular glandular system is more susceptible to sialolith formation because of its unique physiologic and anatomic characteristic.
The authors performed the analysis of 42 cases of salivary stones which were diagnosed and treted from March 1990 to February 1995 in our departments and the departments of ENT in the Uijongbu St. Mary's Hospital and Anyang Medical Center.
@ES The results were as follows:
@EN 1. Age and sex distributions were more predominently third decade(35.7%) and male(69.0%) respectively.
2. Site distributions were more common at Wharton's duct (76.2%).
3. Number of calculi varied form 1 to 4, and a single stone was most commonly present in the cases(78.6).
4. Most sizes of the stones were 2.1~6.0mm(55.8%) and the shapes were mostly globular or spindly.
