Hypoglossia is a rare entity which is reported sporadically. Hypoglossia has often occurred in an association with limb anomalies and, therefore, these cases have been grouped together as hypoglossia-hypodactylia within oromandibular limb hypogenesis syndromes. The literature on this condition is reviewed, and a case of hypoglossia has also been presented. An investigative protocol to aid in th...

Hypoglossia-hypodactyly is a rare congenital anomaly affecting the tongue and the limbs. Hall in 1971 classified it under a complex group of disorders called oromandibular limb hypogenesis syndromes. It is an extremely rare condition with around 40 cases reported in the world literature. The cause of the syndrome is unknown. Some type of intrauterine trauma is the most widely accepted etiology....

Hypoglossia-hypodactylia syndrome is an extremely rare congenital anomaly characterized by a hypoplastic mandible, absence of the lower incisors, hypoglossia, and variable degree digits limbs, with risk dysarthria dysphagia. We report articulation function swallowing patient hypoglossia-hypodactylia who was followed up to eight years old. Our did not have feeding disturbances. She articulatory ...

Aglossia-adactylia is described in two male patients, aged 31 and 21 years old. Including a previous reported case (Nevin, Dodge, and Kernohan, 1970) there are three patients with this syndrome in Northern Ireland. The aetiology is unknown but in spite of the extreme variability of the clinical manifestation, a dominant mutant gene cannot be ruled out.

INTRODUCTION Microglossia is a very rare condition with approximately 50 cases reported in literature to date. Frequently, this disorder presents in association with limb abnormalities and is grouped as a hypoglossiahypodactilia syndrome. In 1718, de Jussieu was the first to describe the condition. He reported on a 15-year old with what he termed ‘congenital lingual hypoplasia’. In 1932 the lit...

the oromandibular-limb hypogenesis syndrome comprises a group of anomalies which simultaneously affect the mandible, tongue, and maxilla with or without reductive limb anomalies. it is characterized by failure of development of the intraoral region and distal extremities. multiple and variable deformities of the mandible, maxilla and tongue may occur in combination with a variety of limb defect...
