Salivary gland diverticulum

A salivary diverticulum (plural diverticuli) is a small pouch or out-pocketing of the duct system of a major salivary gland.^[1] Such diverticuli typically cause pooling of saliva and recurrent sialadenitis,^[2] especially parotitis.^[3] A diverticulum may also cause a sialolith to form.^[4]^[5] The condition can be diagnosed by sialography.^[2] Affected individuals may "milk" the salivary gland to encourage flow of saliva through the duct.^[2]
