Introduction: Facial swellings commonly presented to the clinician every day can be due to a variety of causes. One of such swelling is sialocele,
which is a cavity filled with saliva which is caused by ductal injury or parenchyma injury and more commonly observed in parotid gland than
any other salivary glands.
Methods: Relevant all article available in the goggle scholar search engine are selected.
Results: All long term results of parotid sialocele occurred, resulted and treated either by conservative therapy or surgical therapy are considered.
They are most commonly observed and involved in parotid gland. In most of the time the sialoceles and fistulas are treated by simple conservative
method itself. In long-standing, fibrosed cases the surgical intervention may be considered.
