It is often associated with other conditions, such as Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, Down syndrome, congenital hypothyroidism, and certain tumours. Symptoms in children include sleep apnea, respiratory distress, drooling, swallowing difficulties, and speech problems. If left untreated, macroglossia can lead to long-term complications, such as anterior open bite deformity, frequent upper respiratory tract infections, and failure to thrive. Treatment depends on the underlying cause. {3}Various causes include acromegaly, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, congenital hypothyroidism, Down syndrome, and lymphangioma or haemangioma. It may cause significant symptoms in children such as sleep apnea, respiratory distress, drooling of saliva, difficulty in swallowing and dysarthria.
