Isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy caused by neurovascular compression.
An 80-year-old man presented with difficulty in swallowing and speaking which had progressed over one year. Neurological examination revealed right hypoglossal nerve palsy with ipsilateral atrophy (Picture A). Laryngoscopic examination was unremarkable. Slowly progressive dysarthria and dysphagia with tongue atrophy initially indicated motor neuron disease (MND), but needle electromyographic ex...
متن کاملPeriodic abducens nerve palsy in adults caused by neurovascular compression.
Unilateral abducens nerve palsy with periodic recurrences is a well-recognised finding in children, but is rare in adults. The underlying pathophysiological mechanism is unknown. Vascular compression of the nerve is suspected but never demonstrated. We describe an adult patient with, altogether, 11 periods of unilateral right-sided abducens palsy and arterial contact at the root exit zone of th...
متن کاملTeaching neuroimages: Compression of the eighth cranial nerve causes vestibular paroxysmia.
A 55-year-old man reported having recurrent spontaneous attacks of rotatory vertigo lasting 1–5 seconds and occurring up to 10 times daily and often associated with attacks of right ear tinnitus for more than 3 years. Caloric testing showed a right peripheral vestibular deficit. Cervical vestibular myogenic potentials showed impaired function of the right saccule. An audiogram was normal. MRI (...
متن کاملThe general visceral efferent component of the eighth cranial nerve.
Study of the brain stem, stato-acoustic nerve, and inner ear of the mouse by a cholinesterase technique has disclosed that the acetylcholinesterase-positive centrifugal fibers to the inner ear are part of a general visceral efferent system which supplies fibers to the facial, vestibular and cochlear nerves. This system largely corresponds in its central course to that of the bundle of fibers wh...
متن کاملNeurovascular Compression Caused by Popliteus Muscle Enlargement Without Discrete Trauma
Popliteal entrapment syndrome caused by isolated popliteus muscle enlargement is very rare, although its occurrence has been reported after discrete trauma. However, popliteal artery stenosis with combined peroneal and proximal tibial neuropathy caused by popliteus muscle enlargement without preceding trauma has not been reported. A 57-year-old man presented with a tingling sensation and pain i...
