Parálisis aislada del nervio hipogloso secundaria a quiste articular atlanto-occipital. Presentación de un caso y revisión de la literatura

Hypoglossal nerve palsy is commonly associated with the involvement of other cranial nerves. His injury is rarely isolated. We present a patient in which paralysis is due to the presence of a “juxtafacet cyst” of the atlanto-occipital joint. We review the anatomy of the hypoglossal nerve, different therapeutic options, the differential diagnosis and papers published to date.
