A case of Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome with history of glioblastoma showing partial recovery
Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome (FCMS) can be caused by bilateral opercular lesions (new or old or a combination of both) in patients with history of high-grade brain tumours.Patients with bilateral opercular syndrome experience full or partial or no recovery at all of speech and swallowing, hence proper rehabilitation with a Speech and Language Team is significant.Understanding automatic-voluntary dissociation in FCMS and being able to differentiate it from bulbar palsy and other similar phenomena is crucial in making a diagnosis of FCMS.
