Abstract

Lingual tonsil hypertrophy in children is a rarely reported disorder. Two cases of severe upper airway obstruction in pediatric patients secondary to marked lingual tonsil enlargement are reported. Both children were effectively treated with lingual tonsillectomy. The surgical technique, using an insulated Bovie tip, is described.
