Lingual muscle paralysis

When the tongue is extended, the tip of the tongue is tilted to one side, or left or right, which is called tongue skewness. The tongue side of the affected side is paralyzed, unable to contract, and slightly stretched, the tongue is uneven and skewed on both sides. Therefore, when the left tongue is paralyzed, the tip of the tongue is left, and the right tongue is paralyzed. This condition is common in strokes, which are cerebrovascular accidents.
