RESUMO
La necrosis de la lengua es un proceso excepcional porque está altamente vascularizada gracias a las arterias linguales izquierda y derecha. Sin embargo, no existe una marcada anastomosis entre ambas linguales salvo en la punta y la base linguales. Se presenta el caso de un paciente con una gran lesión necrótica en el dorso lingual por una trombosis carotídea externa bilateral, consecuencia de una radioterapia años antes
Necrosis of the tongue is an atypic process, because it has a high irrigation that depends of the right and left lingual arteries. But, there isn't a good anastomosis between both arteries except in the tip and the tongue base. We focus on an exceptional case report about a patient that presented a great necrotic lesion in the middle of the tongue due to a bilateral external carotid trombosis, because of a radiation therapy some years before
