Resumen

La parálisis del nervio hipogloso se asocia comúnmente con la afectación de otros pares craneales. Su lesión aislada es infrecuente.

Presentamos el caso de un paciente en el cual la parálisis es debida a la presencia de un quiste yuxtafacetario a nivel de la articulación atlanto-occipital derecha. Revisamos la anatomía del nervio hipogloso, las diferentes opciones terapéuticas así como el diagnóstico diferencial y los trabajos publicados hasta la fecha.

Palabras clave:
Quiste yuxtafacetario atlantooccipital
Parálisis del nervio hipogloso
Anatomía del hipogloso
Summary

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.

Key words:
Atlanto-occipital juxtafacet cyst
Hypoglosal nerve palsy
Hypoglosal anatomy
