Objective: to describe a case of transient acute parotitis, after regional anesthesia by subarachnoid spinal block for surgical sterilization and literature review. Case report: 32 year old female patient with no history of associated disease was scheduled for bilateral salpingectomy and regional anesthesia was spinal subarachnoid block was used. Six hours after the operation there was a progressive bilateral increase of parotid gland volume, which was interpreted as acute parototis and she was treated with vitamin therapy and antibiotics. Evolution with total progressive recovery was observed spontaneously three hours later, and the patient was discharged from hospital the following day. Conclusion: postanesthesic transient acute parotitis should not be only associated with the instrumentation of oropharyngeal cavity for general anesthesia, since its diagnosis should be noted after using atropine sulfate in any general or regional anesthesia.

Palabras clave : postanesthetic transient acute parotitis; subarachnoid spinal block.
