Drug induced acute parotitis is a very uncommon complication reported with a few drugs only. There is no case of acute bilateral parotitis reported previously with i.v. enalaprilat. We present here a female patient who developed acute bilateral parotitis within minutes of i.v. enalaprilat injection and recovered within 24 hours of stopping the drug and with symptomatic treatment.
