Abstract |
Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome (FCMS) also known as bilateral anterior opercular syndrome is a form of suprabulbar palsy defined by the presence of bilateral voluntary facial, pharyngeal, lingual and masticatory paralysis with automatic-voluntary movement dissociation. We report an extremely rare case of FCMS in a patient with a unilateral left opercular lesion associated with a chronic asymptomatic contralateral cerebellar lesion. Despite intensive rehabilitation, little improvement was noticed at hospital discharge.
