摘要：
The authors report two patients with isolated unilateral tongue atrophy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain stem and angio-MRI demonstrated a dolichovertebral artery with an abnormal course compressing the medulla oblongata at the emergence of the hypoglossal rootlets. The semeiological observation of a sectorial and nor uniform distribution of atrophy in the half-affected tongue is discussed in relation to the lesional site.
