Anterior Operculum Syndrome Neurol 39:1169-1172, Mao,C.C.,et al, 1989 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The anterior operculum syndrome(AOD)is a well-defined clinical entity that has received little attention in the English literature.We report the clinical and CT findings in 3 cases of AOD;2 were caused by bilateral cerebral infarctions secondary to bilateral internal carotid occlusion and 1 by the residual effects of viral encephalitis.Although there was variability in the range of deficits found in our cases,each of these patients presented with characteristic facio-pharyngo-glosso-masticatory diplegia with a dramatic automatic-voluntary movement dissociation.This syndrome deserves attention for its characteristic anatomic and prognostic implications.
