Preferred Name

Microglossia
Definitions
Decreased length and width of the tongue. Normal standards do not exist. The term aglossia is often used for extremely small tongue, but a nubbin of tongue tissue is almost always present and aglossia in sensu strictu is extremely rare. This is an acknowledged bundled term, but due to its frequent usage and relative paucity of situations that would call for separate individual assessments of tongue dimensions, the bundled term is retained.
Synonyms
Hypoplasia of the tongue
Lingual hypoplasia
Hypoglossia
Hypoplastic tongue
Abnormally small tongue
Rudimentary tongue
Decreased size of tongue
Underdevelopment of the tongue
Small tongue
