They are usually accompanied by functional impairments of some cranial nerves. However, hypoglossal nerve dysfunction is rare. Case Description: We report on a 57-year-old woman presenting with chondroma of the right hypoglossal canal leading to right hypoglossal nerve palsy. Conclusions: This report suggests that chondroma should be considered as a differential diagnosis in cases of hypoglossal lesions.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/83516c32-6cd1-4068-a897-8635dee9381a/featured/hero-1782420864451.png","publishDate":"2019-04-24T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI-69-2019","categories":["Unique Case Observations","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"http://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/9291/SNI-10-63.pdf"}
