    Abstract:
    Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome (FCMS) is characterized by bilateral facio-glosso-pharyngo-masticatory paralysis of voluntary muscles due to bilateral infarction in the anterior opercular region of the brain. Here, we report a case of a 52-year-old female who presented with FCMS due to an acute left anterior opercular stroke in the setting of a chronic asymptomatic right opercular infarct and asymptomatic bilateral cerebellar infarcts. She also had a concurrent acute-on-chronic episode of congestive heart failure exacerbation. She made a significant recovery by the time of hospital discharge.
