The author describes a 47-year-old patient in whom lingual hemiatrophy developed one month after angina. The development of hemiatrophy was preceded by occipital headaches and pain behind the ear on the side of hemiatrophy. In the differential diagnosis the author excluded inflammatory processes neoplasms and developmental anomalies and thinks that the cause of this short-lasting hemiatrophy might have been tonsillitis with compression of the nerve by the oedematous inflamed tissues with action of bacterial toxins on the nerve.
作者描述了一名47岁的患者，该患者在心绞痛发作一个月后出现了舌半侧萎缩。在半侧萎缩出现之前，患者有枕部头痛以及萎缩侧耳部后方疼痛。在鉴别诊断中，作者排除了炎症性病变、肿瘤和发育异常，并认为这种短暂性半侧萎缩的病因可能是扁桃体炎，水肿发炎的组织压迫神经，同时细菌毒素作用于神经。
