Background.
Postoperative parotitis is a rare complication that occurs usually after abdominal surgery.
Parotitis has never been described as a complication of vascular operations, in literature.
In the present article, we describe a case of a postamputation parotitis along with its management and its possible pathogenesis.
Case Report.
An 83-year-old diabetic man was emergently admitted to hospital because of gangrene below the right ankle and sepsis.
The patient underwent a lower limb amputation above the knee.
On the 5th postoperative day, he was diagnosed with right parotitis probably because of dehydration, general anesthesia, and immunocompromisation.
A CT scan confirmed the diagnosis.
He received treatment with antibiotics and fluids.
His condition gradually improved, and he was finally discharged on 15th postoperative day.
Conclusions.
Postoperative parotitis can possibly occur after any type of surgery including vascular.
Clinicians should be aware of this complication although it is rare.
Several risk factors such as dehydration, general anesthesia, drugs, immunocompromisation, head tilt during surgery, and stones in Stensen’s duct may predispose to postoperative parotitis.
Treatment consists of antibiotics and hydration.
