Tongue deviation: signs of symptoms and causes

Description

Move the moving reed aside thanks to a tight palate contraction. (Note: Does not include fixed blade deflection, seen in an abscess around Adenoid).

Reason

Often met

Diabetic single-nerve / microvascular disease.

Due to medical interventions (eg complications from Adenoid).

Less common

Lateral myeloid syndrome (Wallenberg's syndrome).

Platelet-cerebellum.

Dissection of the inner carotid artery.

Glomerular tumours

Mechanism

Causes of blade deflection:

Paralysis of the diaphragmatic nerve (X cord).

Traumatic sceptic

A sceptical neoplasm causes muscle weakness to contract most closely, and as a result, the tongue will shift away from the affected side. Causes include lateral myelosuppression (Wallenberg syndrome), abscesses, and scattered fibrosis.

Paralysis of the diaphragmatic nerve (X cord)

In X-cord paralysis, weakening of the reed and soft palate on the same side cause the tongue to shift away from the affected side. Associated symptoms include loss of sensation of the pharynx and tongue on one side, loss of sensation of the outer ear on one side, difficulty swallowing, and hoarseness. Causes include trauma, glomerular-cerebellar angular tumour, medical intervention, and glomerular.

Meaning

Movable tongue deflection is a manifestation of X-cord paralysis or sceptical nodule.
