submandibular sialadenitis

Imaging of

the sublingual and submandibular spaces. Sialolithiasis with resultant sialadenitis. Axial contrast-enhanced CT images at the level of the submandibular gland demonstrate two well-circumscribed calcifications in the distal right submandibular duct (a, arrow). The right submandibular duct is dilated proximal to the stones (b, arrowhead). There is enlargement and enhancement of the right submandibular gland (*) compared to the normal left submandibular gland
