Abstract
We report a case of sensory deprivation that occurred as a consequence of p rogressive head and neck lymphoedema, following combined surgery and radiot herapy for squamous cell carcinoma. The management of head and neck lymphoe dema is discussed and measures are suggested for improving the sensory depr ivation experienced by the worst affected patients.
