Abstract
Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome (FCMS) or anterior opercular syndrome is a rare neurological syndrome most commonly caused by cerebrovascular accident. The anatomical substrate of the classical (clinical type A) FCMS is constituted by any combination of bilateral cortical (opercular) or subcortical (subopercular) lesion, typically as a result of subsequent strokes. FCMS is characterized by facio-labio-pharyngo-glosso-masticatory paralysis with automatic-voluntary dissociation where involuntary movements of the affected muscles are preserved. A 79 year old woman with FCMS is presented to discuss the assessment,
