Bilateral 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 کاملAtrophy of the tongue following complete versus partial hypoglossal nerve transection in a canine model.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The hypoglossal nerve (XII) has been used as a donor nerve in facial and laryngeal reinnervation.

متن کاملDecreased hippocampal brain‐derived neurotrophic factor and impaired cognitive function by hypoglossal nerve transection in rats
The hypoglossal nerve controls tongue movements, and damages of it result in difficulty in mastication and food intake. Mastication has been reported to maintain hippocampus-dependent cognitive function. This study was conducted to examine the effect of tongue motor loss on the hippocampus-dependent cognitive function and its underlying mechanism. Male Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to the ...
