We describe intermittent or sustained severe involuntary tongue protrusion in patients with a dystonic syndrome. Speech, swallowing, and breathing difficulties can be severe enough to be life threatening. Causes include neuroacanthocytosis, pantothenate kinaseâassociated neurodegeneration, LeschâNyhan syndrome, and postanoxic and tardive dystonia. The pathophysiology of intermittent severe tongue protrusion remains unknown.
When the thumb anchors the tongue down and forward and serves to reinforce an incorrect rest posture of the tongue, an inaccurate and inappropriate spring-off point for speech sound production occurs. Some sounds may be produced incorrectly. When the tongue is resting low and forward, the production of a frontal /t/d/n/l/, or interdental /s/ lisp may occur. When a sucking habit occurs in two or more settings, this defines the sucking behavior as a chronic habit.
