摘要
Acute enlargement of the parotid glands due to air insufflation is well reported under various names, the most appropriate of which is pneumoparotid. We report an unusual example of pneumoparotid, which was difficult to diagnose, that involved background swelling of the parotids because of the respiratory effort of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and acute exacerbations associated with episodes of coughing.
