Abstract

We report a 46 year old woman who developed isolated right hypoglossal nerve palsy two weeks after traditional uvulectomy. Radiological and other general haematological investigations were normal. Isolated unilateral hypoglossal nerve palsy is rare. Thorough physical examination and meticulous investigation is advocated where available.
