Background: Anaesthesia mumps is a relatively unknown postoperative complication following general anaesthesia. It is an extremely rare complication, especially when it occurs bilaterally. It is usually a diagnosis of exclusion and has a benign prognosis. Aim: This case report will share our experience dealing with anaesthesia mumps. The condition arises in various patients undergoing various surgeries, making its pathogenesis confusing. By sharing our knowledge, clinicians can learn about the possibility, management methods, and prognosis. Case Presentation: A 2-year-old child presented for a routine cleft palate repair and subsequently developed bilateral acute post-operative parotitis. She was detained for a couple of extra days, managed conservatively, and the swellings subsequently resolved. Conclusion: Knowledge of the condition’s possibility, early diagnosis, and prompt conservative management lead to the early resolution of symptoms.
