[Seip Berardinelli: the effect of the partial tongue resection].
The Seip Berardinelli or undiagnosed endocrine metabolic syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive pathology mainly described in families of Portuguese origins. This syndrome presents various metabolic disturbances responsible of various dysmorphies. We report the case of two brothers seen during their childhood for respiratory, speaking and feeding problems related to a class 3 of Angle and macroglossia. The object was to study the interaction between the size of the tongue, the prognathism and the disturbances presented in order to organize early surgery (partial glossectomy).
