Hypoglossia and aglossia are rare congenital malformations, especially when found as isolated abnormalities. In view of their usual association with other anomalies of the face, oral cavity, and distal extremities, an accurate investigation is required. We describe a 2-year-old girl with isolated hypoglossia and severe dental disease. Clinical understanding of the changes in the mechanisms of oral suction, mastication, swallowing, and speech, as well as the existing dental occlusion, requires a multidisciplinary team approach so that a more effective treatment can be administered.
舌下缺失和无舌畸形是罕见的先天性畸形，尤其是当它们作为孤立的异常情况被发现时。鉴于它们通常与面部、口腔和远端肢体的其他异常相关联，需要进行准确的检查。我们描述了一名患有孤立性舌下缺失和严重牙齿疾病的2岁女孩。对于口腔吸吮、咀嚼、吞咽和言语机制变化以及现有牙合情况的临床理解，需要多学科团队的方法，以便能够实施更有效的治疗。
