  • Title: [Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome: anarthria and severe dyphagia after sequential bilateral infarction of the middle cerebral artery].
    Author: Guhra M, Poppenborg M, Hagemeister C.
    Journal: Nervenarzt; 2008 Feb; 79(2):206-8. PubMed ID: 17891533.
    Abstract:
    Bilateral lesions of the opercula frontoparietalia are uncommon and cause a symptom cluster including anarthria, severe dysphagia, inability to chew and sometimes facial paresis. At the same time there is an automatic-voluntary dissociation, meaning that the affected muscles are functional within the scope of involuntary movements. This syndrome is known as Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome (FCMS), (bilateral) anterior operculum syndrome or facio-pharyngo-glosso-masticatory diplegia. We report the case of a patient who suffered from FCMS after having infarctions in the territory of the middle cerebral artery on each side 4 years apart.
