Abstract

Mucocele is a benign and asymptomatic pseudo cystic lesion that develops secondarily to the leakage or retention of mucous material from the salivary glands, mainly from the minor salivary gland. The prevalence rate of Mucocele is 2.4 cases per 1000 persons, with the highest percentage (70%) occurring in those ranging from 3-20 years old. If ignored, it can lead to further complications like excessive growth that may impede mastication and interfere with swallowing. In Ayurveda we can correlated with Adhajihwika. A 9-year-old male child came to OPD along with parents. According to his mother, his chief compliant of small painless swelling under his tongue since 1month with the difficulty of eating and speaking. Based on history and clinical examination the case was clinically diagnosed as Sublingual Mucocele (Adhajihwika).The patient treated with application of Apamarga Kshara along with Gandusha and oral medication up to 1month.After 1month of treatment, patient completely relived from signs and symptoms and also no recurrence till date. In contemporary science the treatment of Mucuocele is surgical line of treatment. Conventional surgeries and advanced techniques have their own limitations. Utilising Ayurvedic tools like Kshara in such conditions would give better results, by producing less complication, post-operative discomfort and scaring. Besides, chances of recurrence rate also minimal.
