    Macroglossia, or an enlarged tongue, can cause pediatric airway obstruction, especially after surgery. This review details iatrogenic causes, prevention, and treatment for this serious condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric surgery
    • Otolaryngology
    • Medical complications

    Background:

    • Macroglossia, an enlarged tongue, presents significant challenges in pediatrics.
    • Airway obstruction is a critical, potentially life-threatening complication of macroglossia.

    Observation:

    • While congenital macroglossia rarely causes sudden airway issues, traumatic or postoperative cases can.
    • Iatrogenic postoperative macroglossia, resulting from surgical injury, is specifically examined.

    Findings:

    • The study details the mechanisms leading to iatrogenic postoperative macroglossia.
    • Preventative strategies and therapeutic interventions for managing this condition are discussed.

    Implications:

    • Prompt recognition and management of macroglossia-related airway obstruction are crucial.
