Anquiloglosia - Información general

Nombres alternativos

Cortedad anormal del frenillo lingual

Definición:

Es la posición impropia del tejido lingual en la boca, lo cual restringe el movimiento libre de la lengua.

Causas, incidencia y factores de riesgo:

La anquiloglosia ocurre cuando el tejido que está por debajo de la parte frontal de la lengua se encuentra demasiado corrido hacia adelante en la lengua, dificultando el movimiento de ésta. Este tejido se denomina frenillo lingual.

Si el tejido se extiende hasta la punta de la lengua, se puede observar una hendidura en forma de V.

La anquiloglosia puede causar problemas con la alimentación, con los dientes y con el lenguaje.
