Abstract
We report a case of labio-glosso-pharyngo-laryngeal paralysis with some peculia features. CT and MRI yielded the diagnosis of acute pseudobulbar syndrome by demonstrating the existence of two lensions of the corticobulbar tract: one subcortical (recent) and the other opercular cortical (old) on the opposite side.
