An 81-year-old woman presented with massive macroglossia and signs of both hypothyroidism and pericardial tamponade. Drainage of the pericardial effusion produced dramatic resolution of the macroglossia. Marked elevation of central venous pressure may result in macroglossia, possibly because of anomalous venous drainage of the tongue.
一名81岁女性出现巨大舌肿大,并伴有甲状腺功能减退和心包填塞的体征。心包积液引流后,舌肿大显著消退。中心静脉压显著升高可能导致舌肿大,可能是由于舌部异常静脉引流所致。
