Coblation for Congenital Macroglossia in Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome Abstract Objective: To present a rare case of congenital macroglossia managed with radiofrequency ablation. [202.57.41.5]

Therefore, it is necessary to identify if it is an isolated entity or a syndromic presentation (which would require genetic counseling). [elsevier.es]

Soft Tissue Mass

Workup
[…] lateral radiograph of the knee may be obtained to look for the distal femoral epiphysis; this ossification center appears at about 36 weeks' gestation, and its absence in a term or postterm infant indicates prenatal effects of hypothyroidism. [16] See Workup [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
The treatment of macroglossia included tongue reduction by partial glossectomy. She was seen regularly and at the age of eight years old a lingual frenectomy was performed and an orthodontic treatment was planned. [moh-it.pure.elsevier.com]
17 In some cases of macroglossia, the treatment of choice must be surgery. [elsevier.es]

Prognosis
Prognosis: The prognosis and the management are decided on the accompanying malformations. Usually, the prognosis is poor, with high levels of mortality. [intechopen.com]
Prognosis At the severe end of the spectrum, patients are at risk of early death due to complications arising from hypoglycemia, prematurity, cardiomyopathy, macroglossia, or tumors. In patients who survive childhood, prognosis is generally good. [orpha.net]
Prognosis Prognosis in amyloidosis is dependent primarily on the degree of cardiac involvement and, in AL amyloidosis, on circulating light-chain levels. [acc.org]
Prognosis Prognosis is excellent if treatment is timely. Most children achieve normal physical and mental growth status. Regular follow-ups and blood thyroid hormone measurements are needed for optimum management. [lecturio.com]
Prognosis for long term survival is good if these children are identified early and appropriately screened for malignancy REFERENCES: 1. Mark. A. Sperling, Genetic disorders of Metabolism. [jemds.com]
Etiology
Another classification, described by Myer et al. in the same year, 13 places macroglossia as generalized or localized, subdividing it according to its etiology in congenital, inflammatory, traumatic, metabolic and neoplasic. 12 3 Etiology of macroglossia [elsevier.es]
BENIGN MIGRATORY GLOSSITIS Synonyms-georgaphic tongue,erythema migrans and wandering rash of tongue ETIOLOGY The exact etiology remains unknown. It may be genetic. [slideshare.net]
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
Physical examination of the tongue alone should reveal signs of the cause or at least help to rule out the etiologic classes that are not involved. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology
Each age-specific section covers the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social changes that children experience, as well as the epidemiology of dental disease at that age. [books.google.com]
The anomalies are organized by anatomical system and presented in a consistent manner, including details of the clinical presentation, epidemiology, embryology, treatment and prevention for each anomaly. [books.google.ro]

Prevention
Conclusions: Early interception of macroglossia and surgical reduction in combination with orthodontic treatment can be seen as preventive measures to avoid the tongue influence on the development of malocclusions. [moh-it.pure.elsevier.com]
