Effect of tongue reduction on articulation in children with Down syndrome.

Tongue-reduction surgery was completed on 18 children with Down syndrome. Changes in articulation were evaluated pre- and postoperatively and at a 6-month follow-up. No significant differences in the number of articulation errors were found. The postoperative and 6-month follow-up scores of the surgery group were compared to a nonsurgery (contrast) group (N = 9) who had received two evaluations 6 months apart. Again, no significant differences were found. A follow-up survey of parental ratings on articulation of the surgery and nonsurgery group revealed that there were no significant differences between the groups but that parents of all the children claimed that "speech" had improved over the 6-month time period. These findings suggest that tongue-reduction surgery has no effect on the articulation of sounds.

Breast lumps after reduction mammaplasty.

This paper examines the diagnostic problems raised when breast lumps develop after a reduction mammaplasty. We postulate the etiology and describe how xerograms can help in the diagnosis. We also make a strong case for preoperative xerography.

The traumatic pseudolipoma.

A contour deformity, clinically reminiscent of a large lipoma, can develop after a severe shearing-type injury to the upper thigh, hip, or sacrum, particularly in young women. As the injury is rarely dealt with in the first weeks, it usually presents after a deep scar has contracted. At this stage active surgical intervention seriously increases the aesthetic problem. Conservative treatment with massage, pressure, and possibly injection of steroids is more effective. To the best of our knowledge, this condition has not previously been described.
