    (a) Axial contrast enhanced computed tomography image is seen. Asterisk shows the cystic dilatation of duct of Wharton. Arrow indicates the left submandibular gland. (b) Axial contrast enhanced computed tomography image is seen. Asterisk shows dilatation of both the intra- and extra-glandular segments of duct of Wharton. Arrow indicates the normal appearing right submandibular gland.

  • Image Result
    Sagittal MPR image clearly demonstrates the course of the unilateral congenital cystic dilatation of left Wharton's duct. Arrow shows the left submandibular gland.
