Cancericidal doses of irradiation therapy to be the head and neck may be followed by paralysis of cranial nerves due to fibrosis of tissue about the nerves and infiltration of the nerves with fibrous tissue. The hypoglossal nerve is particularly prone to this delayed effect of irradiation therapy and a case is presented here in which there was bilateral hypoglossal paresis appearing three years after therapy.
对头颈部进行具有抗癌作用的放射治疗剂量后，可能会因神经周围组织纤维化以及神经被纤维组织浸润而导致颅神经麻痹。舌下神经尤其容易受到放射治疗这种延迟效应的影响，本文报告了一例在治疗三年后出现双侧舌下神经麻痹的病例。
