“…Causes of CSS include skull-base tumours and fractures, ICA dissection and vasculitis 2. Near their points of exit, the lower nerves (IX to XII) lie in a narrow space even in normal conditions,3 so any adjacent lesion can cause compression.…”

“…Atlas burst fractures rarely cause neurological deficits because of an enlarged opening of the spinal canal at this level and a tendency of the lateral masses to move centrifugally away from the cord posttraumatically. [ 63 ] In case of atlas fracture and congenital basilar invagination, however, LCN may be also damaged. [ 63 ] Though cranial nerve lesions from atlas fractures are rare, they occasionally occur and affect the 9 th through 12 th cranial nerve.…”

Lesions of the lower cranial nerves (LCN) are due to numerous causes, which need to be differentiated to optimize management and outcome. This review aims at summarizing and discussing diseases affecting LCN. Review of publications dealing with disorders of the LCN in humans. Affection of multiple LCN is much more frequent than the affection of a single LCN. LCN may be affected solely or together with more proximal cranial nerves, with central nervous system disease, or with nonneurological disorders. LCN lesions have to be suspected if there are typical symptoms or signs attributable to a LCN. Causes of LCN lesions can be classified as genetic, vascular, traumatic, iatrogenic, infectious, immunologic, metabolic, nutritional, degenerative, or neoplastic. Treatment of LCN lesions depends on the underlying cause. An effective treatment is available in the majority of the cases, but a prerequisite for complete recovery is the prompt and correct diagnosis. LCN lesions need to be considered in case of disturbed speech, swallowing, coughing, deglutition, sensory functions, taste, or autonomic functions, neuralgic pain, dysphagia, head, pharyngeal, or neck pain, cardiac or gastrointestinal compromise, or weakness of the trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, or the tongue muscles. To correctly assess manifestations of LCN lesions, precise knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the area is required.

“…Sicard, in 1917, described five cases with similar clinical features resulting from bullet trauma [ 3 ]. This rare syndrome has been attributed to neoplasms of the skull base, inflammatory and vascular lesions [ 4 ]. CSS is rare following closed head injury.…”

Posttraumatic Unilateral paralysis of the last four cranial nerves (IX-XI), known as collet-Sicard syndrome, is rare following closed head injury. A 21-year-old man presented with slurred speech, hoarseness voice and difficulty swallowing his saliva following closed head trauma. The cranial nerve examination revealed left sided severe dysfunction of cranial nerves VII, IX, X, XI, and XII. A CT-Scan of the neck was performed demonstrating a fracture of the left styloid process at the base of the skull. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging showed unusually well seen lower cranial nerves due to nerve edema. The patient was managed conservatively with steroids and regular sessions of neuromuscular and orthophonic rehabilitation. The nutrition had to be administered by gastrostomy since he was unable to swallow. Six months after the injury a total neurological recovery was noted. We present the exceptional case of Collet-Sicard Syndrome caused by styloid process fracture.
