Hi All,

 

I am working with a young mom whose baby has a sub-mucosal tongue tie.  I
need to know if this can be clipped without putting baby under a general.
My favorite ENT here has told 2 of my clients that baby needs to be put
under for a 1mm web of a posterior t-t - which, quite honestly I just didn't
understand.  Cathy Genna - what say you?  Can a submucosal T-T be clipped
with a local rather than a general?  Oh, and by submucosal I mean that there
is NO webbing - NO obvious frenulum.  Tongue notches and has restricted
movement, does not elevate properly, etc.  And when you feel it, it feels
like a tight rubber band with almost no give.  There is nothing obvious to
clip.

 

Thanks!

Jaye
