Radiologically-guided balloon sialoplasty for treatment of salivary duct stricture: A novel technique in young children.

Objectives To describe our experience using radiologically-guided balloon sialoplasty to successfully treat sialadenitis in two children as a single modality intervention. Methods A retrospective case series. Results Both children were successfully treated using balloon sialoplasty with complete and lasting resolution of their symptoms. Conclusion Paediatric sialadenitis secondary to salivary strictures are traditionally managed surgically. We believe that this is the first article to describe this intervention in such a series of children and that balloon sialoplasty is a safe technique and can be repeated as necessary, which should be considered as a management option in such paediatric cases.
