Abstract
Sialoliths
are the most common disease of the salivary glands which the obstruction of a
salivary gland or its excretory duct by a calculus. They occur in any ages and
mostly submandibular salivary glands. Minor salivary glands
and sublingual gland are rarely affected. Sizes range from 1 to 10 mm.
Sialoliths are diagnosed by conventional radiographic techniques,
ultrasonography, sialography, magnetic resonance imaging and computerized
tomography in addition to clinic examination. Large sialoliths should be
removed surgically as they may cause partial or complete obstruction of the
salivary gland duct. This case report aims to present the conventional
radiological and ultrasonographic findings of a sialolith in Warthon's duct
of
a male patient who applied to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology,
Atatürk University, Faculty of Dentistry.

Abstract
Sialolitler,
tükürük bezinin bez veya sekresyon kanallarının taş tarafından tıkandığı en
yaygın hastalığıdır. Herhangi bir yaşta ve sıklıkla submandibular tükürük
bezinde görülür. Minör tükürük bezleri ve sublingual bez nadiren etkilenir.
Boyutları 1- 10 mm arasında değişir. Klinik muayene ile birlikte konvansiyonel
radyografi teknikleri, ultrasonografi, sialografi, manyetik rezonans
görüntüleme ve bilgisayarlı tomografi ile teşhis edilirler. Büyük sialolitler
tükürük bezi kanalının kısmen veya tamamen tıkanmasına neden olabileceği için
cerrahi olarak çıkarılmalıdır. Bu vaka raporu Atatürk Üniversitesi Diş
Hekimliği Fakültesi, Ağız, Diş ve Çene Radyolojisi Anabilim Dalı’ na başvuran
bir erkek hastanın Warthon kanalında görülen bir sialolitin konvansiyonel
radyolojik ve ultrasonografik bulgularını sunmayı amaçlamıştır.
