Background: There various disease condition which can leads to increased size of the submandibular gland. Normal dimensions of salivary gland is useful for identification and diagnosis of various associated pathology. The study objective was to assess the normal dimension of submandibular gland using ultrasonograph at a tertiary care centre of Nepal.
Methods: The descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Department of Radiology and Imaging College of Medical Sciences, Bharatpur, Nepal among 126 patients. Ultrasound of submandibular gland was done of all patients with Toshiba Aplio 500 superficial probe. The data was collected and entered into Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 16 and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Later the data was presented in form of tables.
Results: There were in total 126 patients who participated in the study. Among them 78 (61.9%) were females and rest were males. The mediolateral width of right submandibular salivary gland (2.70±0.40 cms) was slightly greater than the left side. The volume of left salivary gland (6.91±2.32 cm3) was slightly larger than the right side in male. However, there was no statistically significant difference between male and female
Conclusion: This study concluded that the volume of left salivary gland was slightly larger than the right side. The volume of salivary gland of females was more than male.
Keywords: Submandibular gland, Salivary gland, Ultrasonography.
