  • Title: [Transitory paralysis of cranial nerves IX, X and XII as well as the left VII after angiography. Contribution to the ischemic pathology of the cranial nerves].
    Author: Lapresle J, Lasjaunias P, Thévenier D.
    Journal: Rev Neurol (Paris); 1980; 136(11):787-91. PubMed ID: 7209243.
    Abstract:
    The authors report the case of a 28 year old woman who presented, after cerebral angiography performed for a transient hemispheric ischemic attack, a regressive paralysis of the IXth, Xth and XIIth as well as the VIIth left cranial nerves. The involvement of these nerves and the sparing of the XIth is explained by the normal disposition of their arterial supply. Such paralysis has previously been encountered after therapeutic angiography. This case is compared to similar ones involving paralysis of the lower cranial nerves in general disease such as diabetes or apparently idiopathic as reported by Edin et al (1976). This study should be seen in a context which also includes preceding ones performed by two of the authors: A. Annabi, P.L. and J.L. (1978) concerning the IIIrd, and J.L., I. Fernandez Manchola and P.L. (1980) concerning the VIIth and Vth cranial nerves. These observations demonstrate the existence of a vascular territorial pathology in cranial nerves involvement.
