Complicated neonatal submandibular suppurative sialadenitis.
Acute suppurative infection of salivary glands in the neonatal period is a rare entity; and almost always involves the parotid glands. A rare case of neck abscess in association with right submandibular suppurative sialadenitis in a 7-day-old baby is presented. The possible etiology, diagnosis, and management of this uncommon disease are discussed.
