    Author: Eventide C, Nair A, Tai YF, Timms K, Lichtblau N.
    Journal: JAAPA; 2019 Jun; 32(6):26-28. PubMed ID: 31136397.
    Abstract:
    Bilateral anterior opercular syndrome, also known as Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome, is relatively rare and is characterized by inability of voluntary activation of facial, lingual, pharyngeal, and masticatory muscles with preserved automatic and reflex movements such as smiling and yawning. The syndrome is caused by bilateral lesions of the anterior opercula and results in severe impairments with speech and swallowing. This article describes a patient with bilateral anterior opercular syndrome secondary to embolic strokes and how neuro-rehabilitation improved symptoms.
