Figures
Deviation of the tongue to the left side and hemiatrophy of the left half of the tongue
Large dumbbell-shaped solid cystic lesion in the left perimedullary cistern along the course of the left hypoglossal nerve appearing hyperintense on T2 (a, c) and iso- to hypo-intense on T1 (b). On post-contrast study, it showed heterogenous enhancement (d). Posteriorly, it was causing a mass effect over the medulla and cervico-medullary junction (e). Secondary hemiatrophy of the left half of the tongue with fatty infiltration and prolapse of left hemi-tongue into the oropharynx (f)
