[Isolated temporary pharyngeal paralysis in childhood. Viral neuroinfection with a mild course?]

The authors describe a boy aged 14 years who had identical signs as those described in 1976 in cases of isolated temporary pharyngeal paralysis (Edin et al). In this syndrome Sullivan and Carlson (1976) observed a rise in the titre of antibodies to Herpes simplex virus, and Nussey (1977) found in it infection caused by Coxsackie type A9 virus. In the presently reported case full serological and virological investigations were not done.
