    Delayed tongue movements occurred in two patients following head trauma. These involuntary, rhythmic tongue waves persisted for months without other symptoms or EEG changes.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Trauma Medicine

    Background:

    • Head and neck trauma can lead to various neurological sequelae.
    • Understanding the spectrum of post-traumatic movement disorders is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with delayed onset of episodic, rhythmic, involuntary tongue movements after head and neck trauma.
    • These movements were characterized by rapid, three-per-second waves originating from focal posterior midline tongue contractions.

    Findings:

    • Each episode of tongue movement lasted approximately 10 seconds.
    • The condition persisted for 2 to 4 months in both patients.
    • No other body movements or electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormalities were observed concurrently.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • This case series highlights a rare, delayed-onset movement disorder following head trauma.
    • The distinct presentation suggests a potential specific pathophysiology related to trauma-induced neural dysfunction.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms and long-term prognosis of this post-traumatic tongue dyskinesia.
