Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome (FCMS) is a cortical-subcortical pseudobulbar palsy characterized by automatic voluntary dissociation of facio-masticatory-pharyngo-glosso-laryngeal movements. FCMS is typically caused by vascular insults on the bilateral anterior opercular or adjacent subcortical areas. Acute onset of FCMS secondary to a unilateral lesion is extremely rare. Herein we present a case of FCMS caused by acute unilateral anterior opercular infarction with preexisting bilateral leukoaraiosis. Our case shows that an acute unilateral anterior opercular lesion can decompensate preexisting corticobulbar-subcortical lesions and cause the typical features of FCMS.
福瓦-沙瓦尼-玛丽综合征(FCMS)是一种皮质-皮质下假性延髓麻痹,其特征为面-咀嚼-咽-舌-喉运动的自动随意分离。FCMS通常由双侧前岛盖或相邻皮质下区域的血管损伤引起。继发于单侧病变的FCMS急性发作极为罕见。在此,我们报告一例由急性单侧前岛盖梗死伴双侧脑白质疏松症引起的FCMS病例。我们的病例表明,急性单侧前岛盖病变可使先前存在的皮质延髓束-皮质下病变失代偿,并导致FCMS的典型特征。
