%X La Parotiditis Recurrente es el segundo cuadro inflamatorio m芍s frecuente que afecta a la gl芍ndula par車tida y se define como una inflamaci車n parot赤dea, generalmente asociada a una sialectasia no obstructiva glandular. Se caracteriza por episodios recurrentes de aumento de volumen inflamatorio de una o ambas gl芍ndulas par車tidas, acompa ados ocasionalmente de fiebre y malestar general. Estos episodios se alternan con intervalos de remisi車n de semanas o meses, en los que la gl芍ndula se observa cl赤nicamente asintom芍tica. Se realiz車 un estudio en 74 ni os menores de 15 a os, con diagn車stico de parotiditis recurrente del 2000 a 2007 con el objetivo de realizar una caracterizaci車n cl赤nica de esta enfermedad. A cada paciente se le realiz車: interrogatorio y examen f赤sico; se confirm車 el diagn車stico con ultrasonograf赤a. La enfermedad no present車 diferencias importantes entre los sexos. La edad de presentaci車n de la primera crisis fue alrededor de los 3 a os, con un promedio de 7 crisis por ni o, con una duraci車n de 6 d赤as. En la mayor赤a de los casos se present車 como un aumento de volumen bilateral, acompa ado de dolor. The recurrent parotitis is in order of frequency the second inflammatory disease that affects the parotid gland; it is defined like an inflammatory process generally associated to a glandular non obstructive sialectasis. It is characterized by recurrent inflammatory episodes and volume increase of one or both parotids glands, occasionally accompanied by fever and general uneasiness. These episodes are alternated with remission intervals of weeks or months, in which the gland is observed clinically asymptomatic. It was carried out a study in 74 children smaller than 15 years, with diagnose of recurrent parotitis from 2000 to 2007 in order to perform a clinical characterization of this disease. To each patient it was carried out: interrogation and physical exam, diagnose was confirmed with ultrasound. There were not found remarkable differences among sexes. The presentation age of the first crisis was around 3 years, with an average of 7 crises per patient and 6 days of duration. In most of the cases it occurred as a bilateral volume increase, accompanied by pain.
