“…However, it should be emphasized that tuberculosis-induced palsy of the HN does not necessarily need to be linked with its spinal variant. Thakur et al [185] describe a case of a tubercular lesion located on the posterior wall of the nasopharynx without any bone erosion. The proposed explanation was a minimal invasion into the nerve or meningeal membranes.…”

The hypoglossal nerve is the last, and often neglected, cranial nerve. It is mainly responsible for motor innervation of the tongue and therefore the process of chewing and articulation. However, tumors, aneurysms, dissections, trauma, and various iatrogenic factors such as complications after surgeries, radiotherapy, or airway management can result in dysfunction. Correct differential diagnosis and suitable treatment require a thorough knowledge of the anatomical background of the region. This review presents the broad spectrum of hypoglossal neuropathies, paying particular attention to these with a compressive background. As many of these etiologies are not common and can be easily overlooked without prior preparation, it is important to have a comprehensive understanding of the special relations and characteristic traits of these medical conditions, as well as the most common concomitant disorders and morphological traits, influencing the clinical image. Due to the diverse etiology of hypoglossal neuropathies, specialists from many different medical branches might expect to encounter patients presenting such symptoms.

Upper respiratory tract involvement in cases of tuberculosis (TB) of the head and neck continues to be described in the most recent reports from several different regions, including some from developed countries. Laryngeal TB is the most common of all forms of upper respiratory tract TB (URT-TB). Pulmonary lesions in URT-TB are present in about 20% of adults and about 50 to 60% of children. Systemic manifestations are uncommon. URT-TB is especially seen in patients with a variety of risk factors, such as the presence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, diabetes, smoking, alcoholism, drug abuse, malignancies, and use of immunosuppressive drugs. Nodules or ulcerative lesions are seen on morphological examination. Endoscopic examination is required for mucosal lesions. Diagnosis of TB is suspected on an epidemiological basis in high-prevalence countries or from the failure of a patient to respond to routine treatment. Smear and/or histopathological examinations help in establishing the final etiological diagnosis. Treatment includes standard anti-TB chemotherapy for at least 6 months with four primary drugs during the initial intensive phase of 2 months and two or three primary drugs during the remaining maintenance phase of 4 months. Treatment is modified on the basis of culture and sensitivity reports in cases of suspected drug resistance. Surgical intervention may be required for some patients with abscess formation and progressive disease unresponsive to medical therapy. Airway obstruction, although rare, even in fulminant cases may require tracheostomy for relief.

Extensive and significant technological advancements have enhanced the sensitivity and accuracy of the pathologic classification, diagnosis, and therapeutics of lymphoma. These advances have prompted a more comprehensive understanding of neoplastic behavior and have led to improvements in both treatment and prognosis. This paper presents a comprehensive review of lymphoma and features a case report of a unique presentation of peripheral T-cell lymphoma – not otherwise specified that presented with isolated hypoglossal nerve dysfunction.
