  • Title: [Unilateral involvement of IX, X, Xi and XII in cervical zoster. Cranial nerve contribution to vascular pathology].
    Author: Lapresle J, Faux N.
    Journal: J Neurol Sci; 1981; 52(2-3):351-7. PubMed ID: 7310438.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of a cervical zoster (C2 - C4) with unilateral involvement of the IXth, Xth, XIth and XIIth cranial nerves. Angiography failed to opacify the ascending pharyngeal artery on the same side, presumably because of a thrombosis secondary to the zoster infection. As the ascending pharyngeal artery is known to supply the last four cranial nerves, this study should be seen as a further example of the varied cranial nerve involvement which may arise on a vascular basis.
