Abstract

Foix Chavany Marie syndrome (FCMS), or opercular syndrome, is a rare type of pseudobulbar palsy characterized by paralysis of bilateral facio-linguovelo-masticatory and pharyngeal muscles with automatic-voluntary dissociation. This syndrome was first described by Magnus in 1837 and further defined by two French neurologists, Charles Foix and Jean Alfred Emile Chavany, along with one French pediatrician, Julie Marie, who reported it first in 1926. Since then, a few cases have been reported across the world. We hereby report a case of FCMS in a 61-year-old male patient who presented to us with two different cerebrovascular events.
