Abstract

Sialolithiasis is a comparatively rare disease in children. Here, we report the case of a female aged 5 years and 7 months old with sialolithiasis of the submandibular duct, and we examine the causal factors, diagnostic techniques and treat-ment methods for the disease based on a review of the literature.
