Glossoptosis

Medical condition

Glossoptosis is a medical condition and abnormality which involves the downward displacement or retraction of the tongue.^[1] It may cause non-fusion of the hard palate, causing cleft palate.

It is one of the features of Pierre Robin sequence and Down syndrome.^[1]
