Abstract
A case of congenital bilateral ranula in a one-week-old male baby is reported. At presentation the cyst measured 3.5 x 2.5 cm but did not interfere with feeding. Initial marsupialisation resulted in recurrence of the cyst. It was subsequently re-excised completely together with the associated sublingual salivary gland. The cyst has not recurred six months after treatment. The usually large size of the cyst and its bilateral presentation makes this an interesting case.
