Abstract

Pneumoparotid is a rare cause of enlargement of the parotid gland. Recurrent pneumoparotid has been described
in patients who generate increased intraoral pressure when playing wind instruments. Self-induced pneumoparotid has been reported to be a result of psychosomatic disorder, unintentional habit, and it is sometimes self-induced by patients to achieve secondary gain. We report a case of recurrent self-induced pneumoparotid developed by repeated behavior of insufflation.
