Dysfunction of the hypoglossal nerve (nervus hypoglossus) occurs usually as part of a larger symptom complex, only rarely being the sole symptom of a neurologic disorder. Peripheral etiology must also be kept in mind, especially in patients with malignant primary disease. We describe a patient who developed an isolated right hypoglossal nerve palsy, which later became bilateral. In computerized tomography the bones of the cranial base of the patient with prostatic cancer were damaged by metastases especially in the vicinity of hypoglossal canals.

D019292	Skull Base Neoplasms	Neoplasms of the base of the skull specifically, differentiated from neoplasms of unspecified sites or bones of the skull (SKULL NEOPLASMS).	Neoplasms, Skull Base,Neoplasm, Skull Base,Skull Base Neoplasm
D020437	Hypoglossal Nerve Diseases	Diseases of the twelfth cranial (hypoglossal) nerve or nuclei. The nuclei and fascicles of the nerve are located in the medulla, and the nerve exits the skull via the hypoglossal foramen and innervates the muscles of the tongue. Lower brain stem diseases, including ischemia and MOTOR NEURON DISEASES may affect the nuclei or nerve fascicles. The nerve may also be injured by diseases of the posterior fossa or skull base. Clinical manifestations include unilateral weakness of tongue musculature and lingual dysarthria, with deviation of the tongue towards the side of weakness upon attempted protrusion.
