Sialorrhoea

Sialorrhoea

Excess salivation is rarely symptomatic in healthy individuals as it is swallowed spontaneously . Certain drugs and oral infection produce a transient increase in salivary flow; however, uncon trolled drooling is usually seen in the presence of normal sali vary production in children with mental and physical disability , most notably cerebral palsy . Sialorrhoea can be managed with antisialogogues or with intraparenchymal injection of botulinum toxin injection. Most resting salivary flow arises from the submandibular g lands and surgery should focus on either bilateral excision or repositioning of the salivary duct to control sialorrhoea. Sialorrhoea
