Neurovascular relationship between abducens nerve and anterior inferior cerebellar artery.
We aimed to study the neurovascular relationships between the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) and the abducens nerve to help determine the pathogenesis of abducens nerve palsy which can be caused by arterial compression. Twenty-two cadaveric brains (44 hemispheres) were investigated after injected of coloured latex in to the arterial system. The anterior inferior cerebellar artery or...
متن کاملMicrovascular decompression for hypoglossal nerve palsy secondary to vertebral artery compression: A case report and review of the literature
BACKGROUND Neurovascular-compression syndrome (NCS) is described as a prominent pathological contact between cranial nerves and vessels. Trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, and glossopharyngeal neuralgia are typical clinical entities associated with NCS. On the other hand, the hyoglossal nerve is rarely affected by NCS. CASE DESCRIPTION We present a case of hypoglossal nerve palsy (HNP) s...
متن کاملIsolated abducens nerve palsy caused by contralateral vertebral artery dolichoectasia.
hematological investigations were all within normal limits. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and MR angiography of the brain and orbit demonstrated compression of the right abducens nerve superiorly and laterally by dolichoectatic left VA. No other abnormal signals were seen in brainstem [Figure 1]. Owing to the fact that the right abducens nerve palsy was mild and the patient showed no diplopia...

متن کاملIsolated unilateral hypoglossal nerve palsy due to vertebral artery dissection.
We report the case of a patient with unilateral tongue weakness secondary to an isolated lower motor neuron hypoglossal nerve palsy that was caused by a right vertebral artery dissection in the lower neck. The patient had a boggy tongue with a deviation to the right side but an otherwise normal neurological examination. Magnetic resonance angiography showed a narrow lumen of the right vertebral...
