Abstract
Sialocele is a common complication of parotid tumor surgery. Aspiration and pressure dressing are the most common conservative treatments for sialoceles. However, they occasionally exhibit refractority. In this case report, minocycline injection was administered for refractory sialocele following a condylar fracture treated using the retromandibular anterior transparotid approach. Aspiration of the sialocele and the same amount of minocycline injection using 3-way stopcocks were performed 4 weeks after surgery. After the injection, the buccal swelling completely disappeared without complications, including facial palsy. Percutaneous injection of minocycline might be the first choice for postoperative refractory sialocele following condylar fracture.
