We present a case of parenchymatous glossitis with unilateral severe inflammation of the hyoglossus muscle, resulting in laryngeal edema. The route of inflammation was unique. Contrast-enhanced CT was useful for diagnosis. Administration of sensitive antibiotics led to improvement. Creatine phosphokinase may be an indicator of diagnosis and treatment response. © 2024 The Author(s). Clinical Case Reports published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
