Abstract
Sialolithiasis rarely occurs in children; it is observed more commonly in adults. We report a case of a 9-year-old girl with a sialolith in ‘the right anterior Wharton's duct’ resulting in a submandibular sialadenitis. Under local anaesthesia, the calculus was removed by means of a sialolithotomy. Post-operative recovery was uneventful and follow-up examinations showed recovery of the function of the affected gland.
