- Abstract
- Garcin’s syndrome is defined as showing total unilateral cranial nerve palsies (at least more than 7 ipsilateral cranial nerve palsies), without either sensory or motor long tract disturbance, and without intracranial hypertension. The present report describes an 8-year-old child who had swelling on the right postauricular area and ptosis on the same side which developed before 2 months ago.
Neurologic examination disclosed complete unilateral cranial nerve palsies on the right side. Brain MRI revealed a bulky hypervascular well-enhancing solid tumor, involving the right temporal bone, middle cranial fossa, cerebellopontine angle, infratemporal and pterygopalatine fossae, and parapharyngeal space. A biopsy was performed, and its finding showed a chondrosarcoma.
Key words: Garcin’s syndrome, Chondrosarcoma.
