Cranial nerve palsies after gunshot injury are not uncommon. We report the mechanism of isolated hypoglossal nerve paralysis caused by a gunshot. We report a 74 years old patient in whom a bullet entered through the right nostril and then ended up right occipital condyle. The only neurologic deficit was tongue deviation which resolved in one week. The bullet was not removed. The effect of clival slope may have an importance in this type of injury.
枪伤后颅神经麻痹并不少见。我们报告了 1 例因枪伤导致孤立性舌下神经麻痹的机制。我们报告了 1 例 74 岁患者，子弹从右侧鼻孔进入，最终止于右枕骨髁。唯一的神经功能缺损是舌偏向，1 周后恢复正常。子弹未取出。斜坡斜率的影响在这种类型的损伤中可能很重要。
