title: Ankyloglossum superius syndrome: diagnosis and surgical management.
abstract: Ankyloglossum superius (or ankyloglossia superior) is a rare congenital craniofacial condition characterized by tongue tip adherence to the hard palate and associated limb abnormalities. There have been few reports of this condition in the literature. We present a patient with ankyloglossum superius syndrome and discuss diagnosis and surgical management.
