The presence of a bilobed tongue is a rare congenital malformation. There are multiple reports of a bifid anterior lobe; however, a case with complete separation of isolated anterior and posterior lobes has not been previously described. We report the case of a 2-year-old male, who presented with a V-shaped mandible and glossoptosis in the setting of respiratory distress and difficulty feeding, incidentally found to have a bilobed tongue with independent anterior and posterior lobes.
