Isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy (IHNP) although a rare condition, has been previously reported. A literature review revealed that in most cases, IHNP indicates the presence of an intracranial or extracranial space occupying lesion, head and neck injury, vascular abnormality, infection, autoimmune disease or neuropathy. Reports of idiopathic cases are rare and the vast majority of IHNP are reversible. We report a case of persistent idiopathic unilateral hypoglossal nerve palsy, with an emphasis on the investigations necessary to be undertaken on presentation of such a lesion.
孤立性舌下神经麻痹（IHNP）虽属罕见病症，但此前已有报道。文献综述显示，在大多数情况下，IHNP提示存在颅内或颅外占位性病变、头颈部损伤、血管异常、感染、自身免疫性疾病或神经病变。特发性病例的报道较为罕见，且绝大多数IHNP是可逆的。我们报告一例持续性特发性单侧舌下神经麻痹病例，并着重介绍出现此类病变时需要进行的检查。
