Presentation
A consecutive series of cases is presented where the immune alterations and associated autoimmune disorders are investigated, proposing a study algorithm. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We present a 9-year-old boy who had 11 episodes of recurrent parotid swelling. Case report A 9-year-old boy presented with recurrent episodes of bilateral painful swelling below the ears for the past 4 years. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The patient presented with bilateral recurrent parotid enlargement, predominantly on the right side. [scienceopen.com]
Treatment
Initially conservative treatment is indicated because the natural history of JRP includes spontaneous resolution in 90% cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment and prognosis In most cases, the symptoms resolve spontaneously after puberty but in some cases can persist into adulthood. References Promoted articles (advertising) [radiopaedia.org]
Conclusion: Juvenile recurrent chronic parotitis can be considered a sentinel sign of other diseases of immunological/autoimmune aetiology for which the diagnosis, monitoring and early treatment can improve its prognosis. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Due to multiple recurrent dental cavities, high recurrence of the swelling episodes, and poor response to treatment, SjÖgren's syndrome was suspected. [scienceopen.com]

Etiology
Juvenile recurrent parotitis is of unknown etiology and is characterized by a non-obstructive, non-suppurative nature. It can have unilateral or bilateral involvement. [radiopaedia.org]
Introduction Juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP) is defined as recurrent inflammatory parotitis in children of unknown etiology.1 It is a rare condition and characterized by multiple episodes of parotid swelling and/or pain associated with fever or malaise [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Introduction: Chronic Recurrent Parotiditis is a recurrent swelling of the parotid gland, of multiple etiology. In some cases it may be an early manifestation of SjÖgren's syndrome. [scienceopen.com]
Epidemiology
The salient features of this rare disease are summarized on the basis of a comprehensive review of the epidemiologic, clinical, and serologic findings of the previously reported cases of PSS in children. [scienceopen.com]
Prevention
Antibiotic treatment during attack is often proposed to prevent additional damage to the glandular parenchyma while low-dose prophylactic antibiotics have been recommended when an immunoglobulin A deficiency is observed.6 However, recurrent swelling and [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
