Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Neurology

Background:

  • Opercular syndrome, or Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome, is a rare cortical pseudobulbar palsy.
  • It involves paralysis of facial, pharyngeal, masticatory, tongue, laryngeal, and brachial muscles due to bilateral opercular vascular insults.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of opercular syndrome in an elderly male.
  • To describe the clinical presentation and diagnosis of this rare neurological condition.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of an 81-year-old male patient.
  • Clinical diagnosis based on symptoms of anarthria, and difficulties in chewing, speaking, and swallowing.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with acute onset of anarthria.

Bilateral Common Carotid Artery Occlusion as an Adequate Preconditioning Stimulus to Induce Early Ischemic Tolerance to Focal Cerebral Ischemia

Published on: May 9, 2013

  • Symptoms included significant difficulties in chewing, speaking, and swallowing, consistent with opercular syndrome.
  • Preservation of autonomic reflexes and emotional activities in affected structures was noted.

    • Conclusions:

    • Opercular syndrome is a rare neurological disorder characterized by specific muscle paralysis.
    • Prompt diagnosis is crucial for managing patients presenting with acute anarthria and related bulbar symptoms.
