Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Sialolithiasis is the most common disease of the salivary glands. Sialoliths that exceed 15 mm in any dimension are considered as giant. We present the first case of simultaneous bilateral giant sialoliths reported in the literature and the role of salivary endoscopy in this scenario. Salivary endoscopy allows duct exploration and retrieval of smaller intra-ductal fragments during combined approaches (external and endoscopic).
