Abstract
Introduction: The hypoglossal nerve (xii. Nerve) in the central bulbus contains only motor fibers. After leaving the brain stem, the fibers coming out of it pass through the canalis hypoglossis in the occipital bone and move to the parafarengeal cavity and then to the level of the occipital artery, reaching the suprahioid region. It passes behind the milohyoid and hyoglossus muscles and reaches the intrinsic muscles of the tongue. In addition, stylolossus innervates the hyoglossus and genioglossus muscles.
Case Report: A 16-year-old female patient addmited to our emergency room with the complaint of her tongue turning left (not rotating) in her mouth for 3 days, no head injury. Brain examinations and tests were normal. She got better with antipsychotic, dopaminergic, anticholinergic treatment.
Conclusion: We are in this article; We tried to investigate rare idiopathic hypoglossal nerve palsy causes with the literature.
