Various factors, such as dehydration, prolonged surgery, head positioning, and pharmacologic agents, have been implicated. We present a 76-year-old female with a history of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in remission who developed right parotid swelling following L4-L5 discectomy under general anesthesia. Swelling was painless, progressive, and resolved with supportive management within 24 hours. The parotid gland&#39;s unique anatomical features predispose it to postoperative inflammation. This report underscores the need to recognize anesthesia mumps as a benign, self-limiting condition distinct from more serious complications, such as emphysema. Clinicians must be aware of anesthesia mumps to avoid unnecessary interventions. Early recognition and conservative management usually result in full recovery.</span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="background:white"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><span dir="RTL" lang="AR-SA" style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"></span></span></span></span></span></span></div> Discectomy, General Anesthesia, Leukemia, Postoperative Complications 124 126 http://jsurgery.bums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-472-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Gholamreza Hamidkholgh gholamreza.hamidkholgh@gmail.com 100319475328460011606 100319475328460011606 No Department of Emergency Medicine, School of Medicine, Ardabil University of Medical Sciences, Ardabil, Iran Mahzad Yousefian dr_mahzad@yahoo.com 100319475328460011607 100319475328460011607 Yes Department of Anesthesiology, School of Medicine, Ardabil University of Medical Sciences, Ardabil, Iran
