Macroglossia: a review.
Journal of the Louisiana State Medical Society : Official Organ of the Louisiana State Medical Society 1990 August
Macroglossia is defined as a resting tongue that protrudes beyond the teeth or alveolar ridge. Complications of macroglossia include articulation errors, mandibular deformities, deglutition difficulties, and airway obstruction. Etiologies include hypothyroidism, the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, lymphangiomatosis, and amyloidosis. Surgical correction of this condition at an early age may prevent or minimize the maxillofacial deformities and speech defects.
