Ranula is a cyst-like growth that occurs in the oral cavity beneath the tongue. It consists of saliva from a ruptured salivary gland or duct. Rather than just flowing directly from the glands into the oral cavity, saliva permeates the nearby connective tissues and creates a bubble. A ranula could indeed appear at any time span in a person's life for inexplicable reasons. A trauma such as an oral operation, a facial blow or nibbling the lower lip may possibly start one. The following is a case study of an early childhood boy who reported with a swelling in the floor of the mouth with unknown aetiology from the last 6 months.
舌下囊肿是一种发生在口腔舌下方的类似囊肿的生长物。它由破裂的唾液腺或导管中的唾液组成。唾液不是直接从腺体流入口腔,而是渗透到附近的结缔组织中并形成一个气泡。舌下囊肿可能会在任何人的生命中的任何时间段由于无法解释的原因而出现。口腔手术、面部打击或咬下唇等创伤可能会引发舌下囊肿。以下是一个幼儿的病例研究,他在过去 6 个月因不明病因出现口腔底部肿胀。
