Abstract
Ankyloglossia is defined as a developmental anomaly of the tongue characterized by an abnormally short, thick lingual frenulum resulting in limitation of tongue movement or in simple terms, tongue tie. In this condition there is difficulty lifting the tongue to the upper teeth or moving the tongue from side to side, tongue appears notched or heart shaped when stuck out. Adult tongue-tie may result in mouth breathing, inability to speak clearly, difficulty kissing, jaw pain and tongue thrust. We hereby report case of tongue-tie of two siblings and its management by electrocautery, this technique was simple, easier as well as less time consuming, unlike conventional surgery. There is little damage to adjacent tissue and no blood in the operating field when using the electrocautery.
