Treatment for macroglossia should be individualized,depending on the severity of respiratory obstruction and etiology.For isolated macroglossia,prone positioning usually relieves mild cases.More severe cases may require one of the many surgical techniques to reduce tongue size.Lymphangiomas and small hemangiomas of the tongue may require excision,and large congenital hemangiomas frequently respond to systemic corticosteroid or interferon therapy.Chronic hypoxia and carbon dioxide retention are frequent sequelae of macroglossia and require close follow-up.Immediate intubation may be necessary along with tracheotomy to temporize for reduction surgery.
