Juvenile recurrent parotitis is characterized by recurring, non-obstructive, non-suppurative parotid inflammation in children between the ages of one and 16 years. Usually occurring between the ages of three and five, this condition typically goes away around adolescence. It is an uncommon condition, and the cause of this rare illness is unknown, however it is most likely multifactorial. Although the swelling of the parotid tends to be unilateral, it can occur bilaterally, with one side being more affected than the other. We report a case of a five-year-old girl who had five episodes of recurrent parotid swelling. We present this case with the objectives of highlighting the symptoms and signs of this uncommon illness and emphasizing the importance of ultrasonography as a diagnostic tool.
青少年复发性腮腺炎的特征是1至16岁儿童反复出现的、非阻塞性、非化脓性腮腺炎症。通常发生在3至5岁之间，这种情况通常在青春期左右消失。这是一种罕见的病症，这种罕见疾病的病因尚不清楚，但很可能是多因素的。虽然腮腺肿胀往往是单侧的，但也可能双侧发生，一侧比另一侧受影响更严重。我们报告一例5岁女孩反复出现腮腺肿胀5次的病例。我们展示这个病例的目的是突出这种罕见疾病的症状和体征，并强调超声检查作为一种诊断工具的重要性。
