We present a case of a 73-year-old man who developed sudden onset dysarthria, dysphagia and bilateral facial weakness with automato-voluntary dissociation, which deteriorated rapidly to anarthria and aphonia within a few days. MRI scan of the head showed acute infarct in right internal capsule and an old infarct in the left corona radiata while the rest of the investigations were normal. Based on these findings, diagnosis was thought to be subopercular syndrome. He recovered significantly in a few weeks' time.
