Abstract
Acute enlargement of the parotid glands due to air insufflation is wel l reported under various names, the most appropriate of which is pneum oparotid. We report an unusual example of pneumoparotid, which was dif ficult to diagnose, that involved background swelling of the parotids because of the respiratory effort of chronic obstructive pulmonary dis ease and acute exacerbations associated with episodes of coughing.
