Birth injury-induced glossolaryngeal paresis

Steven J. Greenberg, MD, Raymond S. Kandt, MD and Bernard J. D'Souza, MD

Divisions of Neurology (Dr. Greenberg) and Pediatric Neurology (Drs. Kandt and D'Souza), Departments of Medicine and Pediatrics, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC.

Glossolaryngeal paresis followed a difficult delivery and forceps manipulation and was due to a single extracranial traumatic lesion. Although the laryngeal palsy was suspected, hypoglossal involvement was not initially apparent. Search for additional neurologic insult is warranted when a single birth injury is identified. The glossolaryngeal paresis disappeared by age 6 months.
