Abstract
Sudden onset anarthria and dysphagia without lateralised neurologic symptoms should prompt an investigation for pseudobulbar palsy, either due to bilateral vascular lesions of the corticobulbar tracts or, less frequently, Foix-Chavany-Marie Syndrome (FCMS). Here, bilateral damage to the frontal opercular cortex leads to loss of voluntary control of muscles supplied by cranial nerves V, VII, IX, X, XI, and XII. This case report presents a rare case of FCMS on the background of traumatic cerebral lesions following a bicycle incident.
