Abstract

Pneumoparotitis is a rare etiology of symptomatic parotid gland enlargement that is often misdiagnosed clinically. Pneumoparotitis results from air refluxing into the parotid ductal system via an incompetent Stensen duct orifice. We report a protracted case of pneumoparotitis evaluated with the “puffed‐cheek” computed tomography technique to help confirm the diagnosis.

Segmental infarction of the omentum is a rare clinical entity that is seldom considered in the differential diagnosis for acute abdominal pain, especially as the clinical findings are so non-specific. Consequently, the diagnosis is usually made intraoperatively. The two cases presented here demonstr
