Macroglossia

Vicente Jesus Ruiz, MD

Centro de Ecografia, Salta, Argentina

This is a 28-week-fetus with a macroglossia. The ultrasound images show the enlarged tongue protruding beyond the teeth or alveolar ridge and the polyhydramnios. The karyotype was normal (46XY). A partial glossectomy was performed.
