Mrs. Smith was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer 15 months ago. She underwent
chemotherapy for several months before a bilateral mastectomy was performed. She then
completed six weeks of radiation therapy to the chest wall. Recently, she has been experiencing
the inability to manipulate the tongue during chewing and swallowing, as well as difficulty in
speech. Further investigation indicated that the left side of her tongue appeared to be paralyzed
when asked to protrude her tongue past her lips. An MRI was performed and revealed a lesion
present at the base of the skull that was affecting this particular cranial nerve.
