RESUMEN
Caso clínico. Paciente con epilepsia causada por una encefalitis límbica no relacionada con un proceso tumoral. Resultados. A lo largo de la evolución, y de forma subaguda, la paciente mostró crisis parciales y áreas variables de afectación de los lóbulos temporales, no simultáneas, que abocaron a una atrofia de las estructuras límbicas y áreas adyacentes y que dieron lugar a un estado de déficit neuropsicológico permanente, fundamentalmente en la memoria reciente verbal y visual. Tras 6 años de evolución, no se ha podido demostrar la coexistencia con un proceso neoplásico (AU)
ABSTRACT
Introduction. Unilateral isolated paralysis of the soft palate is a rare clinical entity. Case report. We describe the case of a 12-year-old girl who presented acute dysphagia, a nasal voice and regurgitation of liquids into the nose. Exploration revealed right velopalatine insufficiency with normal gag reflex and pharyngeal sensitivity. All the complementary studies, including magnetic resonance, lumbar puncture and viral serology tests, were normal. There are 28 similar cases in the literature, with the following characteristics acute onset, appearing in infancy (96%), predominance in males (79%), recent respiratory infection (35%) and an excellent prognosis for recovery (85%). Conclusion. This is probably a case of acute cranial mononeuropathy with a viral aetiology (AU)
