Abstract Primary intracranial germinomas are classically known as midline lesions, occurring most commonly in the pineal and suprasellar regions, and will usually present with symptoms related to increased intracranial pressure or hypothalmic dysfunction. Involvement of both the pineal and the suprasellar region in the same patient (double midline lesions) is relatively rare (7%). Dissemination of germinoma to both cerebellopontine angles, in addition to the double midline lesions, with the initial clinical presentation of lower cranial nerve involvement has not been previously reported. We encountered such an unusual case, which prompted this report and review of the literature.

ABSTRACTGuillian Barre Syndrome (GBS) is associated with cranial nerve involvement. Commonest cranial nerves involved were the facial and bulbar (IXth and Xth). Involvement of twelfth cranial nerve is rare in GBS. We present a case of GBS in a thirteen years old boy who developed severe tongue weakness and wasting at two weeks after the onset of GBS. The wasting and weakness of tongue improved at three months of follow up. Brief review of the literature about XIIth cranial nerve involvement in GBS is discussed.
