Finally, the baby born with a massive tongue the size of
an adult man has finally been given hope of survival.
A baby who nearly choked to death because of the size
of her huge tongue can now breath a sigh of relief after
doctors successfully reduced the size of her tongue.
The baby was born with an adult-sized tongue due to a
rare genetic condition, Dailymail reports .
Paisley Morrison-Johnson had such a large tongue that
she needed help breathing for the first week of her life
to stop her from choking to death. She was born with
Beckwith Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) – a rare
overgrowth disorder affecting around one in every
14,000 births worldwide
The report further revealed that the rare condition
caused her tongue to grow more than twice the size of
her mouth, which meant she struggled to feed.
So Paisley, from Aberdeen in South Dakota, had to be
fed through a tube in her stomach until she was six
month’s old.
Parents Madison Kienow, 21, and Shannon Morrison-
Johnson, 23, agreed to surgery to slice parts of it
away. But her tongue continued to grow back and still
hung out of her mouth.
Six months ago, Paisley had her second tongue
reduction and has smiled for the first time after having a
total of more than six inches of muscle removed.
Paisley, who is 16 months old, is now enunciating the
sounds that will allow her to speak her first words.
‘Her tongue filled up her whole mouth, it was very thick
and protruding out of her mouth,’ said Ms Kienow, a
medical student. Her parents are so delighted with the
latest development.
Doctors believe Paisley will do well as they continue to
monitor her after surgery. For more information, visit
