Abstract

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common malignancy in childhood. We present a 7-year-old boy with facial and hypoglossal nerve palsies as presenting features of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which was suspected when magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated infiltrations of the brain, and was confirmed by bone marrow biopsy.
