Transient unilateral hypoglossal nerve palsy is very rare. We report an 81-year-old woman with right hypoglossal nerve palsy who recovered in 4 weeks without specific treatment. Extensive investigations did not disclose a cause for her hypoglossal nerve palsy. We believe that hypoglossal nerve palsy may sometimes be self-limited, just as Bell's palsy is.
