Abstract
An 82-year-old woman developed acute onset isolated paralysis of the right ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth cranial nerves (Collet-Sicard syndrome). The polynevritis was associated with major weight loss, increased blood pr essure, nephropathy, distal arteriopathy and an inflammatory syndrome, sugg esting panarteritis nodosa. Neuromuscular biopsy results confirmed the diag nosis. Collet-Sicard syndrome resulted from ischemia in the territory of th e ascending pharyngeal artery.
