We report the case of a 14-month-old boy who developed a swelling of the tongue with fever, dyspnea during sleep and dysphagia. An anterior lingual abscess was identified by magnetic resonance imaging. He developed 4 recurrent lingual abscesses thereafter. Pediatricians should be aware of this problem because it can be a life-threatening condition.
我们报告了一名14个月大男孩的病例，他出现了舌头肿胀，并伴有发热、睡眠时呼吸困难和吞咽困难。通过磁共振成像确诊为舌前脓肿。此后，他又反复出现了4次舌脓肿。儿科医生应注意这个问题，因为它可能是一种危及生命的疾病。
