Macroglossia in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
JAMA Neurol 70:1432-1435, McKee, H.R.,et al, 2013
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We are unaware of previous reports of macroglossia in ALS/motor neuron disease. Given the paucity of case material, we speculated that this is an extremely rare complication of ALS. Based on this series, we propose a pathophysiological mechanism by reviewing imaging and tongue biopsy.
