“…The MRI demonstrated an infiltrative retropharyngeal mass for which no biopsy was performed. However, similar clinical and radiological findings causing secondary cranial neuropathies (V, VII, IX, X, XI, and XII) have been previously reported in the literature [16,20,25], and granulomatous infiltration of the retropharynx is probable. Nevertheless, while this infiltrating mass of the retropharynx could explain the paresis of nerve XII on the left side and potentially the headaches, it could certainly not be responsible for the right side's symptoms, especially given that the second MRI showed a reduction in the size of the mass.…”

“…En relación con el tipo de manejo de vía aérea fue más común en intubación que en el uso de mascarilla laríngea [12]. Entre otras etiologías menos frecuentes destacan las disecciones carotideas [13], granulomatosis de Wegener [14], enfermedad de Beçhet [15] y Esclerosis Lateral Amiotrófica [16]. Englobando los pacientes de las dos series grandes publicadas los datos que obtenemos serían los siguientes: de un total de 345 pacientes incluidos, en el 33,6% de los casos la etiología principal es la tumoral, seguida de la iatrogénica postquirúrgica (22%).…”

“…La etiología más frecuentemente descrita de paresia del nervio hipogloso es la etiología iatrogénica postquirúrgica, seguida de la tumoral y la idiopática [2]. Se han publicado casos más infrecuentes de etiología infecciosa [3][4], disecciones carotideas [5], granulomatosis de Wegener [6], enfermedad de Beçhet [7] y esclerosis lateral amiotrófica [8]. En los últimos años ha cobrado importancia la etiología idiopática, publicándose casos clínicos sin causa evidente tras estudios exhaustivos.…”
