摘要
A variety of neurological disorders other than high altitude cerebral edema have been described at high altitude. This report documents isolated facial and hypoglossal nerve palsies that occurred in two travellers at high altitude in the Nepal Himalaya. The possible pathophysiological mechanisms of these neurological deficits are discussed.
