Abstract:
A case of an injured, necrotic tongue in a child of 12 months was investigated. It was found that the patient was suffering from congenital analgesia. The injury was due to errupted lower incisor teeth, and the injury healed following their extraction. We believe that in cases of repeated self-injury of the tongue some form of sensory disturbance should be considered.
