“…Several underlying conditions associated with isolated involuntary or abnormal tongue movements have been reported, including thalamic or pontine infarction, brainstem ischemia, radiosurgery for acoustic schwannoma, electrical injury, Arnol-Chiari malformation, Miller-Fisher syndrome, Bickerstaff 's encephalitis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, drug-induced or drug-intoxication, chronic epilepsy and multiple sclerosis [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Among the above these reports, only some reports revealed the neuro-radiological localization of the involuntary hyperkinetic movements of the tongue (Table 1) [7,8,10,11,13,20]. The slower frequency and some of the phenomenological characteristics of the involuntary tongue movements observed in our case might be similar to the features of oculofacial or oculomasticatory myorhythmia, which is characterized by relatively rhythmic muscle contractions in ocular, facial, mastificatory, limb, and other muscles and is typically seen in brainstem or cerebellar disease and Whipple disease.…”
