Lateral medullary syndrome (LMS) is a neurological disorder usually presenting as loss of pain and thermal sensation over the ipsilateral face and contralateral half of the body, ipsilateral limb ataxia, Horner's syndrome, dysphagia, nystagmus, hiccups among other symptoms but never with limb weakness. In the present case, the patient presented with ipsilateral hemiparesis, which can be attributed to the extension of the infarct caudally beyond the pyramidal decussation, affecting the corticospinal fibers in the upper cervical cord, a variant of LMS, known as Opalski syndrome (OS).

Glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT1-DS) is an uncommon condition represented by an infantile-onset disorder, frequently arising from heterozygous mutations in the gene. Individuals with GLUT1-DS may present with early-onset seizures (typically manifesting before 4 years of age), developmental delay, and complex movement disorders. In fewer cases, stroke-like events or hemiplegic migraine-like symptoms are also reported, defined by unilateral paresis affecting 1 side of the body and/or one-half of the face, occasionally accompanied by speech impairment.

Purpose: We examined operative efficiency, rate of facial nerve paresis, and post-operative outcomes in patients undergoing retrograde (RGD) vs anterograde dissection (AGD) of the facial nerve controlling for tumor location.
Methods: Single-institution, retrospective analysis of patients with benign parotid tumors undergoing superficial parotidectomy with facial nerve dissection over a six-year period. Operative and pathology reports were reviewed to classify tumor size, location in relation to facial nerve branches, and technique for facial nerve dissection.
