Case Report: Abnormal Movements of the Tongue Years after Tonsillar Cancer Treatment
This case describes a 52-year-old female who presented with abnormal movements of the left side of her tongue. The patient was diagnosed with radiation induced myokymia of the tongue. This diagnosis was established based on history and exam findings, while also ruling out the original concern of recurrence of her tonsillar cancer using MRI imaging. The standard for diagnosing myokymia is through the use of electromyographic studies, however this study was not possible with the resources at the hospital.
