Case description

The damage to the lower motor neurons cause visual, irregular and involuntary contractions of individual muscle fibbers which are called fasciculations. In this video we can see fasciculations of intrinsic tongue muscles secondary to left lingual nerve involvement in metastatic cervical lymph nodes. On a protrusion the tongue is deviated to the left.
