We report what we believe is the first case of a glossal abscess that arose as a complication of tongue-base suspension surgery. The patient was a 31-year-old man who presented with a several-day history of odynophagia, tongue swelling, voice changes, and increased snoring. Two years earlier, he had undergone a tongue-base suspension procedure for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a tongue abscess. During peroral incision and drainage, a knotted 0 Prolene suture was discovered within the abscess cavity. The suture was removed, the area was thoroughly irrigated, the drain was placed in the abscess cavity, and the incision was loosely closed. On postoperative day 5, repeat CT revealed resolution of the abscess, and the patient was discharged on oral antibiotics. Although glossal abscess is very rare, physicians should consider it in the differential diagnosis of any patient who presents with lingual swelling following tongue-base suspension surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/014556131109001212","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,9]],"date-time":"2019-01-09T15:06:15Z","timestamp":1547046375000},"page":"E15-E17","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Glossal Abscess as a Complication of Tongue-Base Suspension Surgery"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"90","author":[{"given":"Bobby A.","family":"Tajudeen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Head and Neck Surgery, Department of Surgery, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Biana G.","family":"Lanson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, New York University School of Medicine, New York City."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pamela C.","family":"Roehm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, New York University School of Medicine, New York City."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-014556131109001212","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tripleo.2003.11.011"},{"issue":"6","key":"bibr2-014556131109001212","first-page":"1300","volume":"27","author":"Ozturk M.","year":"2006","journal-title":"AJNR Am J Neuroradiol"},{"key":"bibr3-014556131109001212","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.20042"},{"key":"bibr4-014556131109001212","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.20018"},{"key":"bibr5-014556131109001212","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0736-4679(01)00307-9"},{"issue":"1","key":"bibr6-014556131109001212","first-page":"16","volume":"63","author":"Bernardini CV","year":"1945","journal-title":"Cal West Med"},{"issue":"3","key":"bibr7-014556131109001212","first-page":"496","volume":"19","author":"Mu\u00f1oz A","year":"1998","journal-title":"AJNR Am J Neuroradiol"},{"key":"bibr8-014556131109001212","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1440-1622.2000.01812.x"},{"key":"bibr9-014556131109001212","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/clinids\/16.1.133"},{"key":"bibr10-014556131109001212","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0030-6665(05)70130-4"},{"key":"bibr11-014556131109001212","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348949410301210"}],"container-title":["Ear, Nose &amp; Throat Journal"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/014556131109001212","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/014556131109001212","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T18:36:19Z","timestamp":1777401379000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/014556131109001212"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2011,12]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"12","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2011,12]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/014556131109001212"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/014556131109001212","relation":{},"ISSN":["0145-5613","1942-7522"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0145-5613","type":"print"},{"value":"1942-7522","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2011,12]]}}}
