Abstract

Vernet's syndrome is a complex of multiple cranial nerve palsy including ninth, tenth, and eleventh cranial nerves which results from various lesions involving the jugular foramen. There are several kinds of lesions that can cause Vernet's syndrome. It includes congenital cholesteatoma, vascular lesions such as protruded jugular bulb, infections such as external otitis or abscess, and tumoral lesions such as schwannoma or paraganglioma. We present a rare case of Vernet's syndrome caused by non-specific inflammatory mass lesion in the neck area sparing jugular foramen.
