Abstract
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.
