Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Few cases of plunging ranulas occur during childhood and the lesions are frequently misdiagnosed. Plunging ranula is an uncommon condition in children under 10 years of age. Here a plunging ranula in a child is reported along with its management. A seven year old male patient visited to the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery complaining of swelling in right side of floor of mouth from 3 months. Patient gave history of difficulty in mastication and speech. On palpation a diffuse soft fluctuant non tender and fluid containing mass was observed. The suspicion plunging ranula was performed by ultrasound. The diagnosis was confirmed. The ranula and the sublingual gland excision was done. Differential diagnosis depends on clinical examination and ultrasonography. In paediatrics the key to success of the treatment depends on the radical excision of the cyst and sublingual gland via an intraoral approach.
