The classic anterior (frontal) opercular syndrome (Foix-Chavany-Marie sy.) is a cortical pseudobulbar palsy mainly due to bilateral lesions of anterior brain operculum. In 2000 the authors had a 70-year old female patient with acute onset of swallowing and speaking difficulty. Neurological examination established a left facial central palsy, the palsy of the tongue and the soft palate, dysarthry, difficulty in chewing with left side hemiparesis. The CT scan showed a right side (one-sided) frontal opercular ischemic lesion. This event switched their attention especially to this group of cases and subsequently the authors collected 12 patients with these symptoms. Authors discuss the patomechanism of transient pseudobulbar palsy that occurs due to unilateral opercular lesion that the diaschisis effect might explain.
