It is also known as juvenile recurrent parotitis. Althoughthe aetiology is unknown, congenital malformations of the ductus, genetic predisposition, infections, allergies,autoimmune diseases, and immune deficiency are blamed. In this article, a six-years-old girl diagnosedwith recurrent parotitis was presented because of its rare occurrence. The patient was presented with fever,swelling of both parotid regions, redness and pain. The complaints started two months ago following the upperrespiratory symptoms, which was diagnosed as mumps.
