Isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy due to internal carotid artery dissection.
A case of an isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy is reported.

متن کاملInternal carotid artery dissection and pseudoaneurysm formation with resultant ipsilateral hypoglossal nerve palsy
Craniocervical artery dissection is a potentially disabling condition caused by an intimal tear allowing blood to enter and dissect the media in the cranial direction which can occur spontaneously or as a result of trauma. When the dissection extends toward the adventitia, it can form a protrusion from the weakened vessel wall called a pseudoaneurysm, which may become a nidus for distal thrombo...
