Abstract
A case of combined, crossed laryngeal paralysis of a man aged 43 years, is reported. The complaints were mainly vertigo, hoarseness, double vision, hypesthesia or anesthesia on the left half of the face and on the right half of the body and the extremities, and relaxation and ptosis of facial muscles on the left side. From these symptoms and their progress, it seems that in this case the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth (vestibular nerves only), and tenth cranial nerves were affected by hemorrhage chiefly on the back face of the part between the lower porton of pons and the upper portion of medulla oblongata. It is likely that the nystagmus towards left at any stimulation on the peripheral labyrinth was caused by the fact that the abnormal excitement in the left vestibular nucleus area surpassed always the peripheral laby- rintheal excitement.
