Hypoglossal Nerve Mononeuropathy as the First Presenting Symptom of Progressing Multiple Myeloma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) rarely presents with a primary neurological dysfunction, and if it does it is usually due to a plasmacytoma. This is the first case to discuss hypoglossal nerve dysfunction as the first sign of MM progression secondary to severe pathophysiologic bone lysis. A PubMed-based literature search was completed on April 17, 2016 for the terms "multiple myeloma" and "hypoglossal nerve neuropathy". A 73-year-old woman with known MM who received little treatment for several years, presented secondary to dysarthria and at first was thought to have hyperviscosity syndrome. On further examination, it was found she had light chain disease and her symptoms were secondary to severe disease progression. Imaging revealed multiple lytic lesions in the skull on skeletal survey and brain MRI revealed boney lysis near the occipital condyle and clivus likely interfering with the coursing of the hypoglossal nerve. Advanced progressing MM can cause severe boney destruction which can interfere with cranial nerve canals and cause neuropathy as a presenting symptom.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
