We report the case of a 37-week old newborn presenting on day 1 of life with an apparent congenital fusion of the tongue to the hard palate, consistent with Ankyloglossum Superius syndrome. Physical exam along with endoscopy showed apparent fusion of the floor of the mouth to the anterior hard palate displacing the tongue into the nasal cavity and obstructing the oral airway. The child was nasotracheally intubated and brought to the operating room for lysis of the fusion under binocular microscopy. We review the literature on this rare condition and provide an algorithm for evaluating the neonatal airway in the setting of congenital oral abnormalities.
