Acute macroglossia, while rare and often limited in duration, can present significant management challenges. The anatomic position of the tongue, which can result in airway compromise in cases of enlargement, contributes significantly to difficulty with management. We review several management options for persistent acute onset lingual macroglossia and present a novel noninvasive management technique in a case which was refractory to several strategies.
急性巨舌症虽然罕见且病程通常有限，但可能带来重大的管理挑战。舌头的解剖位置在肿大时可能导致气道受压，这对管理造成了很大困难。我们回顾了几种针对持续性急性起病的舌部巨舌症的管理方案，并在一个对多种策略均无效的病例中介绍了一种新的非侵入性管理技术。
