| Summary: | Cheek trauma is occurs usually due to effect of carious teeth of this region. It may occur depending on the cheek biting habit also in some cases. Parotid duct injury accompanied by cheek trauma is rare. Objective evaluation and radiological methods are of great importance in the diagnostic process of trauma cases and are usually adequate for diagnosis. The use of fine needle aspiration and determination of diagnosis by this method is extremely rare in such cases.
