Resumen
ALVAREZ SUAREZ, ML et al. Painful ophthalmoplegia secondary to larynx carcinoma. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2003, vol.78, n.1, pp.43-46. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: We present a case of metastatic larynx cancer in the cavernous sinus. It presented itself as a right sixth cranial nerve palsy which progressed into a painful ophthalmoplegia with normal CT and RNM in its early stages. Discussion: We must suspect a cavernous sinus invasion in patients with cranial nerve palsies and with a history of malignancy, despite negative radiologic findings. Tumoral invasion of the skull base has been described in pharyngeal neoplasms but it is exceptional in larynx carcinomas.
Palabras clave : Ophthalmoplegia; cavernous sinus; larynx carcinoma.
