A small oral mass of lymphoid tissue, especially either of two such masses embedded in the lateral walls of the opening between the mouth and the pharynx, of uncertain function, but believed to help protect the body from respiratory infections. ...
3–5 mm elevations are uniformly distributed on the base of the tongue. When these nodules are elevated >1 mm or are “conspicuous,” a diagnosis of lymphoid hyperplasia can be suggested. Lymphoid hyperplasia can extend deep into the valleculae, along the lingual surface of the epiglottis, or...
4.Hydrops was found inlingualsurface mocosa of epiglottis in all these patients and abscess of epiglottis developed in 2,and laryngemphraxis in 1 and tracheotomy was carried out. 语言含糊不清21例,伴呼吸困难29例,会厌舌面黏膜均有不同程度 ...
Lingual taste buds occur in distinct papillae of the tongue (Fig. 10.4), but extra-lingual taste buds are smoothly embedded in the surface mucosa without papillae, e.g., buds of the soft palate, oropharynx, larynx (epiglottis), and the upper esophagus. Taste buds in humans were first indep...
Filing ridges on internal surface of projecting upper bill tip in parrots and some cockatoos GL: Glottis Gl.ling: Glandula lingualis; Gll. linguales rostrales (McLelland 1993) Gl.md: Glandula mandibularis; Gll. mandibulares caudales (McLelland 1993) Gl.mx: Glandula maxillaris Gl.pr...
Based on the findings of this extensive workup, the only explanation for the patient's dysphagia was lingual tonsil hypertrophy. Flexible transnasal laryngoscopy showed that his vallecula and tongue base were still clear of obstructing lingual tonsil tissue, and his epiglottis had resumed its natural...
Normally, the lingual tonsils have a reticular pattern on its surface. With hypertrophy of the lingual tonsils, this pattern will be disturbed. Frontal view of the radiograph will show 5-7 mm, smooth surfaced nodules in patients with lymphoid hyperplasia. Laterally, these nodules distend posteriorl...
Along the ventral surface of the tongue it travels superiorly in a twisted course, under the longitudinalis inferior and over themucous membrane. It is located on the lateral part of the genioglossus that is the chief large extrinsic tongue muscle, escorted from the lingual nerve. ...
