Abstract
A traumatic transection of Stenon'duct in a 36-year-old man is herein reported. The patient complained of multiple lacerations and salivary fistula on his left cheek which were caused by a shattered windshild in a traffic accident. Sialo-CT and X-ray examinations showed stenosis of Stenon's duct and a glass-like body located at the stenotic portion. Under general anesthesia the pieces of glass were removed by an external incision on the left cheek. A silicon tube was inserted into Stenon's duct to prevent stenosis of the duct and the transected region was then sutured with nylon sutures. The silicon tube was removed 21 days after the operation. The surgery was successful and neither sialorrhea nor sialocele have been observed up to now.
