To study the prevalence, clinical presentation and management of infants with ankyloglossia.
A retrospective file review of infants less than 6 months of age with a diagnosis of ankyloglossia.
Of the 25786 babies born during the assessment period (2007-2015), 134 (0.52%) had ankyloglossia. Sixty-four (47.7%) infants who presented with breastfeeding difficulties were diagnosed significantly earlier than the asymptomatic group (P<0.05). Of the symptomatic group, 85.9% underwent frenotomy with satisfactory results. Seventy asymptomatic infants were managed conservatively with counselling.
Frenotomy seems to be a safe and effective procedure in infants with symptomatic ankyloglossia.
研究舌系带过短婴儿的患病率、临床表现及治疗方法。
对诊断为舌系带过短的6个月以下婴儿进行回顾性病历审查。
在评估期(2007 - 2015年)出生的25786名婴儿中,134名(0.52%)患有舌系带过短。出现母乳喂养困难的64名(47.7%)婴儿比无症状组诊断明显更早(P<0.05)。在有症状组中,85.9%接受了舌系带切开术,效果良好。70名无症状婴儿接受了保守的咨询指导。
对于有症状的舌系带过短婴儿,舌系带切开术似乎是一种安全有效的手术。
