↓ Figure 1. Computed tomography (CT) of the head and neck illustrating the progression and resolution of anesthesia mumps (bilateral parotid swelling). (a) Before the insertion of the ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt, the parotid glands are observed in their normal state. (b) Following the VP shunt procedure, bilateral enlargement of the parotid glands (white arrows) is evident. (c) Subsequent imaging, conducted within 48 h later, showed significant reduction in swelling, with the parotid glands nearly returning to their baseline condition.
