The hypoglossal nerve in carotid arterial reconstructions.
The Hypoglossal Nerve in Carotid A rterial Reconstructions • The importance of hypoglossal nerve in performing carotid arterial reconstructions has been illustrated by two case reports. Unilateral palsy is troublesome but bilateral damage may result in upper airway obstruction. Simple surgical maneuvers consisting of division of the sternocleidomastoid artery and vein and freeing up of the desc...
متن کاملBilateral hypoglossal nerve injury after bilateral carotid endarterectomy.
A case of severe bilateral injury to the hypoglossal nerves after two-stage carotid endarterectomy is described. Injury to the hypoglossal nerve occurs in up to 20% of patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy and may result in mild or unnoticed deficits. These injuries must be carefully searched for in patients who will undergo a similar procedure on the opposite side since a bilateral defici...
متن کاملIntermittent occlusion of internal carotid artery by hypoglossal nerve.
A 51-year-old man experienced the onset of positionally dependent neurologic changes . When he turned his head to the left and extended his neck for longer than 3 sec he became dizzy and experienced a sensation of "numbness" over his right body, including his face. This was accompanied by loss of motor control of the right body. He had some blurring of vision during these episodes but no loss o...
متن کاملIsolated hypoglossal nerve palsy due to internal carotid artery dissection.
A case of an isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy is reported. The differential diagnosis is discussed, in the context of the requirement for careful scrutiny of the entire course of the hypoglossal nerve on imaging, to detect underlying pathology remote from the tongue, and to avoid unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures prompted by the appearance of a 'pseudomass' of the weak tongue both clin...
متن کاملSpontaneous internal carotid artery dissection presenting as hypoglossal nerve palsy.
A 42-year-old man presented with right temporal headache, dysarthria, and dysphagia. On examination, he had a right hypoglossal nerve palsy. The diagnosis of right internal carotid artery dissection was suggested by magnetic resonance imaging and confirmed by carotid angiography. A dynamic computed tomogram demonstrated enlargement of the carotid artery. In carotid dissection, the hypoglossal n...
