Congenital absence of the major salivary glands, especially the parotid gland, is a rare occasion. The etiopathogenesis of this condition is poorly understood. Aplasia of the parotid glands may be unilateral or bilateral and may occur alone or with other developmental anomalies of the first branchial arch such as hypoplasia or aplasia of the lacrimal glands, hemifacial microsomia, mandibulofacial dysostoses, and multiple congenital anomalies.[ref=1]1[/ref]-[ref=4]4[/ref] Agenesis may be partial or total; more severely affected patients suffer from a dry mouth, an increased rate of dental decay and difficulty in wearing dentures.[ref=2]2[/ref]Turkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2006, 26:469-470
