Acute bilateral tongue necrosis--a case report.

Sajid Sainuddin1, Nadeem R Saeed.   

Abstract

We report the case of an 88-year-old lady who presented with acute necrosis of the whole tongue. Giant cell arteritis was suspected, and early treatment with corticosteroids led to complete resolution and no need for further intervention. We emphasise the importance of early diagnosis of giant cell arteritis and treatment with corticosteroids to stabilise the condition and to avoid serious ocular complications.
