| Popis: | Article abstract-We report two patients who developed myokymic discharges of the tongue after radiation therapy. One patient had carcinoma of the nasopharynx, and the other had a chemodectoma of the middle ear. Radiation therapy may damage the hypoglossal nerve and cause myokymia of the tongue, similar to myokymic discharges associated with brachial plexopathies after radiation therapy.NEUROLOGY 1996;46: 259-260 |
