“…Tongue resection performed in the young growing child leads to positive influence on musculoskeletal, dentoalveolar and functional development. There are many case reports or small cohorts with BWS patients; however, up until now only little is known regarding the long-term results of a large patient group [22][23][24] . The patients included in the present study presented with a wide range of macroglossia, extending from mild to strongly pronounced and from symmetric or asymmetric growth.…”
