BACKGROUND Lower cranial neuropathies are a late effect of radiotherapy (RT), typically reported in nasopharyngeal cancer survivors. Limited data examine these neuropathies after oropharyngeal cancer, particularly as it relates to late radiation-associated dysphagia (late-RAD). METHODS Two cases were examined over 4 to 6 years. Late-RAD was assessed per MBS impairment profile (MBSImP™©), Pene...

Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disease of unknown aetiology, which may involve any organ system. It most commonly occurs in adults with childhood involvement being rare. Central nervous system involvement is seen in up to 25% and typically involves meningeal disease resulting in multiple cranial neuropathies. Other common clinical findings include seizures, headache, dementia, and pitui...

Case presentation We report the case of localised granulomatosis with polyangitis in a 27 year old Caucasian gentleman who presented with multiple cranial neuropathies. He reported diplopia, hearing loss, dysphagia and dysarthria due to involvement of VI, XIII, IX, X and XII cranial nerves. A cerebral MRI demonstrated pachymeningitis along with mastoid changes and additional diagnostic workup s...

To our knowledge, only one prior case of trismus due to vascular compression has been reported. This was caused by vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia associated with multiple cranial neuropathies and was not treated surgical1y.t We report a case of unilateral trismus associated with typical trigeminal neuralgia, refractory to medical therapy, alleviated by microvascular decompression. The relevant ...
