| Abstract: | A 5-month-old colt with a history of nonpainful left-sided facial swelling present since birth was presented for evaluation and treatment. A diagnosis of congenital parotid salivary duct atresia was made, and surgical correction was attempted but was unsuccessful. Follow-up treatments consisted of repeat intralesional injection of 10% neutral-buffered formalin. The horse developed ventral mandibular abscessation with multiple draining tracts secondary to this treatment; however, no other significant complications occurred and a cosmetic outcome was achieved. |
