Human growth and development is a meticulously planned and precisely executed process. Even a mild disturbance can have clinically significant manifestations later on. Even today, ancient beliefs and practices override/delay patient's aspiration for seeking treatment as seen in the case report presented here. Congenital bifid tongue in association with various other orofacial abnormalities has been reported, many of which have been linked to various syndromes. But congenital bifid tongue occurring in the absence of other orofacial abnormalities is very rare. Here, we discuss a case of bifid tongue involving the anterior one-third of tongue, reported in a 45-year-old male patient unusually with no other intraoral abnormalities.
人类生长发育是一个精心规划且精确执行的过程。即使是轻微的干扰，日后也可能出现具有临床意义的表现。即便在今天，如本病例报告所示，古老的观念和做法仍会凌驾于/延迟患者寻求治疗的意愿。已有先天性双裂舌与各种其他口面部异常相关的报道，其中许多与各种综合征有关。但在没有其他口面部异常的情况下出现先天性双裂舌非常罕见。在此，我们讨论一例发生在一名45岁男性患者身上的双裂舌病例，该双裂舌累及舌前三分之一，且该患者无其他口腔内异常，情况较为特殊。
