Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. A salivary diverticulum (plural diverticuli) is a small pouch or out-pocketing of the duct system of a major salivary gland.[1] Such diverticuli typically cause pooling of saliva and recurrent sialadenitis,[2] especially parotitis.[3] A diverticulum may also cause a sialolith to form.[4][5] The condition can be diagnosed by sialography.[2] Affected individuals may "milk" the salivary gland to encourage flow of saliva through the duct.[2]
