Abstract:
A 36 year old diabetic man developed a pure motor hemiplegia (PMH) associated with an ipsilateral lingual palsy. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a pontine infarct. Lingual palsies have never been reported in patients with PMH so far, but may be associated with other lacunar syndromes such as the "dysarthria-clumsy hand syndrome". This observation supports the hypothesis that corticohypoglossal pathways may have bilateral and assymetrical projections.
