Ischemic necrosis of the tongue is a rare condition because the tongue has a rich blood supply. Temporal arteritis appears to be the most frequent cause of tongue necrosis. The case is presented of an 82-year-old man who developed bilateral ischemic necrosis of the tongue. The necrosis was considered to be a consequence of thrombosis of the bilateral lingual arteries due to disseminated intravascular coagulation. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case of necrosis of the tongue secondary to disseminated intravascular coagulation.
舌缺血性坏死是一种罕见病症，因为舌部血液供应丰富。颞动脉炎似乎是舌坏死最常见的病因。本文报道了一名82岁男性发生双侧舌缺血性坏死的病例。该坏死被认为是由弥散性血管内凝血导致双侧舌动脉血栓形成的结果。据作者所知，这是首例报道的继发于弥散性血管内凝血的舌坏死病例。
