Diencephalic-mesencephalic junction dysplasia (DMJD) is very rare congenital brain malformation. We present a 66-years-old man with mild cognitive impairment, dysarthria, deafness, gait abnormality, and involuntary movements of the trunk. The first symptoms, psychomotor excitation and anxiety begun when he was over thirty years old however the symptoms gradually intensified and slowly progressed. The magnetic resonance imaging scans showed partial DMJD. According to recent date it represented type-B of the malformation with relatively mild phenotype in relation to the previously described in literature type-A. To the best of our knowledge this is the first description of an adult patient diagnosed with DMJD anomaly.

Unilateral palsy of the hypoglossal nerve is a rare complication of orthodontic procedures. The main reported causes of HNP are: orthopedic and otorhinolaryngology surgical interventions, and in particular maneuvers involving compression or overstretching of the hypoglossal nerve, dental procedures and traumas, and also infections, motoneuron disorders, tumors, vascular diseases. Diagnosis is usually performed by electrophysiology studies (EMG-VCN), and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful to exclude other causes. The prognosis depends on the location and extension of the damage. Currently there is not a standardized treatment approach except the speech therapy, although, in some cases, the high-dose steroid treatment could be useful. We describe the case of a ten-year-old female, who was admitted in our Unit after a deviation of the tongue associated with dysarthria and dysphagia, occurred after the application of a mobile orthodontic device.
