Abstract
Among the etiologic factors of glossopyrosis, vascular disturbances should be taken into account. The aim of this study was to ascertain whether the flow rate changes ¡n a. profunda linguae contributed to the occurrence of the irritant symptom of glosspyrosis as one of the basic symptoms of the glossalgial syndrome. The blood flow rate in a. profunda linguae was tested in 30 subjects with glosspyrosis and 30 subjects without glossopyrosis, using the method of Doppler sonography. The results have shown that the blood flow rate in a. profunda linguae is one of the important risk factor for the occurence of glossopyrosis.
