We present four cases of abscesses of the tongue diagnosed and treated during the past 2 years.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods.<\/jats:title>\n The medical records, films, and charts of four patients with lingual abscess were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical presentation, radiographic features, treatment, and outcome of the cases were examined.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results.<\/jats:title>\n Diagnosis was obtained by clinical examination and CT. In all cases, we avoided incision and drainage and preferred draining the abscess and aspirating pus with a large\u2010bore needle through the inferior surface of the tongue. All patients responded remarkably well and did not have any recurrence.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions.<\/jats:title>\n \n Lingual abscesses are rare conditions. In contrast to the approach in cases of most deep neck space infections, a more conservative therapeutic approach by needle\u2010aspiration is effective and has the advantages of not exacerbating the edema of the tongue and of avoiding airway compromise. \u00a9 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.\n Head Neck<\/jats:italic>\n 26:<\/jats:bold>\n 550\u2013554, 2004\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.20018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,5,12]],"date-time":"2004-05-12T17:08:40Z","timestamp":1084381720000},"page":"550-554","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Lingual abscess: diagnosis and treatment"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Dimitrios G.","family":"Balatsouras","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Panayotis N.","family":"Eliopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonis C.","family":"Kaberos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,5,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0733-8635(02)00057-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100072339"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-192310000-00005"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-193712000-00002"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"294","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1742-1241.1991.tb08881.x","article-title":"Lingual abscess: a rarity","volume":"45","author":"Knight LC","year":"1991","journal-title":"Br J Clin Pract"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100066354"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1979.00790170047013"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","unstructured":"\u201cFord doing well after operation on tongue: Doctors say former president had rare condition.\u201d August 2000.
