Macroglossia happens when your tongue is enlarged or oversized. It’s also called a “big tongue". In most cases, macroglossia is a symptom of an underlying condition. The condition might be congenital (present at birth) or acquired (developed later in life). However, it’s possible to be born with macroglossia without a known underlying cause.
