Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare, progressive neurodegenerative disease, part of the spectrum of motor neuron diseases. This disease is divided on the bases of heritability, with majority of the cases being sporadic and phenotype, with eight recognized patterns-each with its respective symptoms, rate of progression, and prognosis. Here, we report a case of sporadic, bulbar-onset ALS, unique in its presentation as our patient had fully progressed bulbar symptoms, at the age of 28 years-where other cases of bulbar ALS are associated with much older ages and have a predisposition for the female gender. His prominent and elaborate tongue fasciculations going all the way down to the neck and rendering him incapable of holding his tongue out made for an additional reason of our special interest in the case and the keenness to report it.
