ABSTRACT
A 41-year-old gentleman underwent surgical repair of the fractured right parasymphisis and left condyle of his mandible. Post-operatively he developed hoarseness of voice and dyspnoea during speech, with deviation of the tongue on protrusion. After excluding intracranial and surgical causes, a clinical diagnosis of Tapia's syndrome was made.
