Recurrent parotitis is a rare manifestation of Sjögren syndrome. The management of recurrent parotitis is challenging because conservative methods may be of limited efficacy and invasive approaches carry the risk of complications. Botulinum toxin has been shown to reduce salivary flow, and consequently, the results of its use in the management of recurrent parotitis have been encouraging. A 65-year-old female patient with recurrent parotitis due to Sjögren syndrome was referred to us, complaining of weekly bouts of inflammation. She required a course of antibiotics monthly to control bacterial superinfections. We treated her with onabotulinumtoxinA injections into both parotid glands at regular intervals. After her second injection cycle, she denied further inflammatory bouts, has not required antibiotics in more than 36 months, and denied any side effects. Botulinum toxin may be a safe and effective method of treating Sjögren syndrome-associated recurrent parotitis.
复发性腮腺炎是干燥综合征的一种罕见表现。复发性腮腺炎的治疗具有挑战性,因为保守方法可能疗效有限,而侵入性方法有并发症风险。肉毒杆菌毒素已被证明可减少唾液分泌,因此,其用于复发性腮腺炎治疗的结果令人鼓舞。一名65岁因干燥综合征患有复发性腮腺炎的女性患者被转诊至我们这里,她抱怨每周都会出现炎症发作。她每月需要一个疗程的抗生素来控制细菌重叠感染。我们定期给她双侧腮腺注射A型肉毒杆菌毒素进行治疗。在她第二个注射周期后,她否认有进一步的炎症发作,36多个月来都不需要抗生素,并且否认有任何副作用。肉毒杆菌毒素可能是治疗干燥综合征相关复发性腮腺炎的一种安全有效的方法。
