  • <p>Background:Submandibular sialolithiasis is the most common obstructive disorder of the major salivary glands, with a strong predilection for the submandibular gland. While minimally invasive techniques such as sialendoscopy are currently preferred, acute infectious scenarios may require immediate surgical intervention.

Clinical examination and intraoral findings guided diagnosis and management. Emergency transoral surgical removal of the calculus was performed under local anesthesia.</p>
