Résumé:
Acute suppurative parotitis is an infectious process caused by bacterial
origin that affects the parotid gland and usually occurs in patients with some type of
systemic impairment or in conditions of hyposalivation associated with poor oral
hygiene. Objective: To describe a case of a young and systemically healthy patient
who developed acute suppurative parotitis. Case report: A 21-year-old male patient,
feoderma, sought the services of the Academic League of Surgery at the Department
of Bucomaxilofacial Surgery at the Federal University of Campina Grande, Patos
campus, Paraíba, Brazil complaining of a increased volume and pain in the left region
of the face. On physical examination, a purulent drainage of the Stensen duct was
observed and the clinical diagnosis was acute suppurative parotitis. The indicated
treatment was based on antibiotic and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, the patient
progressed well and after seven days had no clinical complaint. Conclusion: This
infection is uncommon in young and healthy patients, but when diagnosed early and
properly treated it has a good prognosis.
