title: [Pneumoparotid: a case report and review of the literature].
abstract: This article reports a case of peneumoparotid in a ten-year-old girl. This pathology is caused by insufflation of air into the acini of the parotid gland via Stensen's duct. A review of the literature shows that it has many aetiologies but more frequently it presents as an occupational hazard among glassblowers and wind instrumentalists. It may also occur by auto-insufflation in adolescence who often have psychological problems. The diagnosis is made from the history and imaging. The treatment is aetiologic and symptomatic.
