Abstract

Eight cases of Sjögren syndrome in children were presented. Recurrent swelling of salivary glands was shown to be predominant findings in children with Sjögren syndrome. It was first reported that "lace-like" appearance of main duct was of great value in sialographic diagnosis of Sjögren syndrome in children. The differentiation between Sjögren syndrome and recurrent parotitis in children was discussed.
