title: [Congenital parotid gland fistula in the children: diagnostics and surgical treatment].
abstract: The objective of the present study was to improve diagnostics and surgical treatment of congenital parotid gland fistulae. It involved 86 children presenting with this defect at the age varying from 4 months to 17 years who were admitted to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the Morozovskaya City Children's Clinical Hospital during the period from 2010 till 2014. It was shown that parotid fistula suppuration is an absolute indication for the surgical treatment of such children regardless of their age. The proposed diaphanoscopic technique was shown to produce good results and can be recommended for both diagnostics an intraoperative visualization of the fistulous passage.
