Résumé

Les kystes de la parotide font partie des affections des glandes salivaires, rencontrées chez les sujets infectés par le virus de l'immuno-déficience humaine. Cette étude rapporte 28 cas recensés dans le service d'oto-rhino-laryngologie du centre hospitalier et universitaire de Brazzaville. La tranche d'âge concernée est celle de 32 à 57 ans. Le profil du VIH révèle une prédominance du VIH1 (20 cas). Le diagnostic repose sur la clinique, l'échographie et la ponction exploratrice. L'approche thérapeutique adoptée (ponctions itératives et pansement compressif) chez ces patients fragiles et à ressources limitées, a permis d'obtenir des résultats satisfaisants.
