Notes:
Summary Bilateral anterior opercular syndrome is clinically characterized by facio-pharyngo-glossomasticatory diplegia due to bilateral opercular lesions. Reported cases of the syndrome have been relatively rare probably because of difficulty in determining opercular damage on clinical symptoms alone. We report a case of this syndrome in whom bilateral opercular damage could be detected not by CT, but suggested by SPECT, and confirmed by MR imaging.
