Postoperative parotitis is a rare complication that occurs usually after abdominal surgery. Parotitis has never been described as a complication of vascular operations, in literature. In the present article, we describe a case of a postamputation parotitis along with its management and its possible pathogenesis. <jats:italic>Case Report<\/jats:italic>. An 83-year-old diabetic man was emergently admitted to hospital because of gangrene below the right ankle and sepsis. The patient underwent a lower limb amputation above the knee. On the 5th postoperative day, he was diagnosed with right parotitis probably because of dehydration, general anesthesia, and immunocompromisation. A CT scan confirmed the diagnosis. He received treatment with antibiotics and fluids. His condition gradually improved, and he was finally discharged on 15th postoperative day. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. Postoperative parotitis can possibly occur after any type of surgery including vascular. Clinicians should be aware of this complication although it is rare. Several risk factors such as dehydration, general anesthesia, drugs, immunocompromisation, head tilt during surgery, and stones in Stensen\u2019s duct may predispose to postoperative parotitis. Treatment consists of antibiotics and hydration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/3714214","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,15]],"date-time":"2018-03-15T19:31:25Z","timestamp":1521142285000},"page":"1-3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Acute Parotitis after Lower Limb Amputation: A Case Report of a Rare Complication"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2018","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5335-8346","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Konstantinos Ioannis","family":"Avgerinos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vascular Surgery Clinic, 251 Hellenic Air Force General Hospital, Athens, Greece"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nikolaos","family":"Degermetzoglou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vascular Surgery Clinic, 251 Hellenic Air Force General Hospital, Athens, Greece"},{"name":"1st General Surgery, Vascular Surgery Department, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, \u201cPapageorgiou\u201d General Hospital, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sofia","family":"Theofanidou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u201cArogi\u201d Rehabilitation Centre, Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Georgia","family":"Kritikou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Economics Piraeus, University of Piraeus, Piraeus, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9221-6981","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ioannis","family":"Bountouris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vascular Surgery Clinic, 251 Hellenic Air Force General Hospital, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/s0030-6665(05)70173-0"},{"issue":"3","key":"2","first-page":"221","volume":"80","year":"2009","journal-title":"Annali Italiani di Chirurgia"},{"issue":"5","key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"303","DOI":"10.1590\/S0036-46652008000500010","volume":"50","year":"2008","journal-title":"Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de Sao Paulo"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"4","DOI":"10.1097\/00008506-200401000-00007"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"5","DOI":"10.1093\/clinids\/12.4.591"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"6","DOI":"10.1016\/s1010-5182(05)80418-4"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"7","DOI":"10.1016\/0030-4220(92)90320-p"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"8","DOI":"10.4103\/1658-354x.101227"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"9","DOI":"10.1016\/0024-3205(96)00524-3"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"10","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2044.2000.01479-19.x"},{"issue":"11","key":"11","first-page":"882","volume":"89","year":"2014","journal-title":"American Family Physician"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"12","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-197207000-00014"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"13","DOI":"10.1097\/00001665-200301000-00006"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Otolaryngology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criot\/2018\/3714214.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criot\/2018\/3714214.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criot\/2018\/3714214.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,15]],"date-time":"2018-03-15T19:31:27Z","timestamp":1521142287000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/criot\/2018\/3714214\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018]]},"references-count":13,"alternative-id":["3714214","3714214"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2018\/3714214","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6765","2090-6773"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"2090-6765"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2090-6773"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018]]}}}
