    Author: Cantalupo G, Spagnoli C, Cerasti D, Piccolo B, Crisi G, Pisani F.
    Journal: Brain Dev; 2014 Jun; 36(6):548-50. PubMed ID: 23958591.
    Abstract:
    The eponym "Tapia's syndrome" indicates an associated unilateral vocal cord and tongue paralysis secondary to a peripheral involvement of the recurrent laryngeal branch and the hypoglossal nerve. Although mainly observed as a complication of surgery or anaesthesia, it can rarely occur secondary to infectious or neoplastic causes. We are presenting a case of a teen-ager with Tapia's syndrome who had been seeking medical assistance for episodes of loss of consciousness and was diagnosed with a high-grade peripheral B-cell lymphoma, an association not previously described. This syndrome should be remembered even outside the surgical contest for its highly localising value.
