Abstract

Background: Bilateral acute parotitis is commonly associated with conditions like mumps and inflammation. However, its occurrence immediately after caesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia is extremely rare. Case report: A 34-year-old primigravida with no significant past medical history developed sudden, painless bilateral parotid gland swelling following a caesarean section performed under spinal anesthesia. She was successfully treated with hydration, steroids, and antihistamines, resulting in complete resolution of symptoms within 24 hours without any complications. Conclusion: This case highlights an unusual presentation of bilateral acute parotitis following caesarean section. Although rare, it should be considered a potential complication. Prompt medical management with hydration, steroids, and antihistamines can lead to rapid recovery.
