Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To explore parotid gland phenotype of patients with first and second branchial arch syndrome on spiral CT scans. METHODS: 140 patients with first and second branchial arch syndrome were included. The form and proportion of different parotid gland phenotypes were evaluated according to CT reports from medical imaging department of Peking University School of Stomatology. RESULTS: The three phenotypes of parotid gland in patients with first and second branchial arch syndrome included bilateral symmetry of parotid gland (22.9%), parotid gland hypoplasia (15.7%) and absence of parotid gland (61.4%). CONCLUSIONS: Parotid gland absence and hypoplasia are the main manifestations in patients with first and second branchial arch syndrome.

Key words: First and second branchial arch syndrome, Parotid gland absence, Parotid gland hypoplasia
