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]

Methods Design: Surgical Innovation Setting: Tertiary Government Hospital Patient: One Results A 2-year-old boy presented with congenital macroglossia, associated with difficulty feeding and phonating. [apamedcentral.org]

To our knowledge, there are no published reports of the true incidence of macroglossia presenting in utero. [mhmedical.com]

• Anterior Open Bite

  Parents referred an abnormal tongue dimension since birth and the development of a progressive anterior open bite. The treatment of macroglossia included tongue reduction by partial glossectomy. [moh-it.pure.elsevier.com]

  Maxillofacial abnormalities including anterior open bite, prognathism, and an increased angle between the ramus and body have been described. [ispub.com]

  The child had a severe anterior open bite as a result of tongue thrust, with accompanying malocclusion. [archivesofpathology.org]

• No Speech Development

  In some cases, the tongue may protrude from the mouth and interfere with the child’s tooth placement, ability to eat, and/or speech development. Macroglossia diagnosis focuses on determining its underlying cause. [nicklauschildrens.org]

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]

[citation needed] Treatment[edit] The goal of newborn screening programs is to detect and start treatment within the first 1–2 weeks of life. Treatment consists of a daily dose of thyroxine, available as a small tablet. [en.wikipedia.org]

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]

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]

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]

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]
