Abstract

Juvenile recurrent parotitis is an uncommon condition characterised by recurrent episodes of parotid swelling that affects school-aged and pre-school children and shows a typical tendency to self-resolution during adolescence. To date, etiopathogenetic hypotheses and treatment options are still debated, as there are no current guidelines for its diagnosis and treatment so far. This article aims to provide valid recommendations for the management of children with recurrent episodes of parotitis and tips to identify cases worthy of further investigation and referral to the specialist.
