The purpose of this case report is to record the unusual combination of occipital neuralgia and hypoglossal nerve palsy causing
dysarthria
, dysphagia, and unilateral weakness of tongue protrusion, with no other neurological findings. The cause was a discrete tumor in the clivus and the right occipital condyle. Following surgical resection of the tumor,
dysarthria
and dysphagia persisted. These improved with therapy by a speech therapist, but deviation of the tongue persisted on protrusion. No similar case reports were found in the literature. In addition, the tumor was an unusual one, a chondromyxoid
fibroma
(CMF); these tumors uncommonly involve the skull base.
