"facial muscles, in a pseudo-lower motor neurone pattern"
"subacute: infections (e.g. HSV encephalitis, cerebral abscess) 7,8"
"The clinical presentation is of pseudobulbar palsy that is usually acute 1,2, although the tempo of the condition can vary depending on its aetiology 1-11. There is paralysis of bilateral 1,2:"
"There are many causes, which can be divided by the resultant tempo of the clinical presentation."
"Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome is typically caused by bilateral pathology affecting the anterior frontal operculum, which is adjacent to and has connections with the region of the primary motor cortex responsible for voluntary action of the masticatory, facial, pharyngeal and lingual muscles 1,2. Automatic action is thought to be preserved because it is mediated by neurones located away from the anterior operculum, likely in other pathways between the brainstem, amygdala and lateral hypothalamus 3."
