Abstract |
Foix-Chavany-Marie Syndrome (FCMS) or bilateral opercular syndrome is characterised by faciopharyngoglossomasticatory diplegia with automatic voluntary dissociation and is a rare form of pseudobulbar palsy most commonly associated with occlusive cerebrovascular disease. We present a transient manifestation of the syndrome, in a patient who suffered two sequential traumatic brain injuries.
