Abstract EN
A 61-year-old man with recent Bell’s palsy developed acute vocal cord paralysis causing severe dysphagia.
CSF analysis showed elevated protein and a normal cell count; contrast-enhanced MRI of the brain was normal.
He was treated with IVIG for a presumed bulbar-variant AIDP and gradually improved.
Six months later, the patient developed rapidly progressive hearing loss and vestibular dysfunction.
Repeat MRI revealed bilateral enhancement of the eighth cranial nerves and a hypercellular mass in the left temporal lobe.
Biopsy of the mass confirmed the diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Lymphomatous invasion of the cranial nerves should be considered in cases of relapsing cranial neuropathies.
