Abstract
Sharp penetrating trauma of the face, besides causing a cosmetic defect, may also injure deeper anatomic structures. Lacerations in the cheek region may involve branches of the facial nerve, parotid gland or its duct, and vascular structures such as the transverse facial artery. Failure to recognize a parotid duct injury may result in the formation of a sialocele or cutaneous fistula. We describe a simple technique using intravenous tubing for the management of a persistent parotid sialocele.
