Bifid tongue - a case report

Abstract

Disturbance in the organogenesis of tongue might lead to some malformations like tongue tie, bifid tongue and micro - macroglossia. These anomalies may cause speech impairment and social problems. Here we discuss a case of bifid tongue involving the anterior 2/ 3rd of tongue reported in a 14 year old male patient without any other orofacial defect or without any associated syndrome.
