Résumé

L'hypersialorrhée chez le retardé mental est une situation clinique handicapante, à retentissement psycho-affectif majeur, à risque d'accès dyspnéique par stase salivaire pharyngée et de traitement souvent décevant. Nous présentons une observation chez un enfant de 22 ans dont le traitement a consisté à une dénervation salivaire. Cette technique est simple, efficace et sans risque.
