Abstract
Maxillofacial fractures with the nasal/skull base fractures may preclude nasotracheal intubation, and oro-tracheal intubation may obstruct surgical access. In these cases, submental intubation is a safe and well-accepted alternative, associated with low morbidity and complication rate. We report a case of one such rare complication, wherein following submental intubation, the patient presented with a sublingual sialocele, associated with dilatation of the submandibular duct with surrounding fibrosis. The secondary sublingual sialocele we encountered could have been due to errors in the technique of submental intubation. Hence, thorough knowledge of the submental and submandibular region's anatomy is important to avoid complications.
