title: Post-traumatic parotid sialocoele.
abstract: A case of post-traumatic parotid sialocoele (subcutaneous collection of parotid secretions) is described. The importance of excluding damage to the parotid gland when facial lacerations are examined is considered. Earlier recognition and awareness of the potential problems associated with parotid injury following facial laceration would reduce the problems associated with late diagnosis.
