  • Title: [Painful ophthalmoplegia secondary to larynx carcinoma].
    Author: Alvarez Suárez ML, Alvarez-Buylla Camino M, Barbón García JJ, Morís De La Tassa G, Pastor Hernández L.
    Journal: Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol; 2003 Jan; 78(1):43-6. PubMed ID: 12571774.
    Abstract:
    CASE REPORT: We present a case of metastatic larynx cancer in the cavernous sinus. It presented itself as a right sixth cranial nerve palsy which progressed into a painful ophthalmoplegia with normal CT and RNM in its early stages. DISCUSSION: We must suspect a cavernous sinus invasion in patients with cranial nerve palsies and with a history of malignancy, despite negative radiologic findings. Tumoral invasion of the skull base has been described in pharyngeal neoplasms but it is exceptional in larynx carcinomas.
