macroglossias การใช้

• Children with BWS and significant macroglossia should be evaluated by a craniofacial team.
• However, some children with BWS do have speech problems that could be related to macroglossia or hearing loss.
• Macroglossia, an abnormally large tongue, can be associated with ulceration if the tongue protrudes constantly from the mouth.
• Surgery for macroglossia involves removing a small part of the tongue so that it fits within the mouth to allow for proper jaw and tooth development.
• Facial features include macroglossia, wide open mouth, wide open eyes, nasal flaring ( due to respiratory distress ), and poor facial muscle tone.
• The reduction of growth restriction results in the overgrowth of many tissues, leading to the common symptoms of BWS . These symptoms may include macroglossia, organomegaly, periorbital fullness, and hernias.
• *As patients pass into adolescence, the syndrome is characterized by a coarse and flat face, macroglossia, prognathism, inverted lower lip, and psychomotor retardation with muscular hypertonia and contractures.
• Macroglossia in BWS becomes less noticeable with age and often requires no treatment; but it does cause problems for some children with BWS . In severe cases, macroglossia can cause respiratory, feeding, and speech difficulties.

• Originally termed EMG syndrome ( for " exomphalos ", " macroglossia ", and " gigantism " ), this syndrome over time became known as Beckwith Wiedemann syndrome or Wiedemann Beckwith syndrome.
• Another definition presented by Elliot et al . includes the presence of either three major features ( anterior abdominal wall defect, macroglossia, or prepostnatal overgrowth ) or two major plus three minor findings ( ear pits, nevus flammeus, neonatal hypoglycemia, nephromegaly, or hemihyperplasia ).
• "' Macroglossia "', a large tongue, is a very common ( > 90 % ) and prominent feature of BWS . Infants with BWS and macroglossia typically cannot fully close their mouth in front of their large tongue, causing it to protrude out.

• It is not a disease as such, but usually results from habits where the tongue is pressed against the lingual surfaces ( the side facing the tongue ) of the dental arches, or from any cause of macroglossia ( enlarged tongue ), which in itself has many causes such as Down syndrome.
• And after Drs Beckwith and Wiedemann described a syndrome of low blood sugar, omphalocele abdominal malformation and macroglossia ( enlarged tongue ), Drs Winter and Curry and colleagues discovered how the syndrome, which had been named Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome, could be diagnosed prenatally ( before the baby was born ).
• Originally, Dr . Hans-Rudolf Wiedemann ( born 16 February 1915, Bremen, Germany, died 4 August 2006, Kiel ) coined the term exomphalos-macroglossia-gigantism ( EMG ) syndrome to describe the combination of congenital exomphalos ), large tongues ( macroglossia ), and large bodies and / or long limbs ( gigantism ).

• In an attempt to standardize the classification of BWS, DeBaun et al . have defined a child as having BWS if the child has been diagnosed by a physician as having BWS and if the child has at least two of the five common features associated with BWS ( macroglossia, macrosomia, midline abdominal wall defects, ear creases / ear pits, neonatal hypoglycemia ).
