Inability to sneeze as a manifestation of medullary neoplasm

R A Martin et al. Neurology. 1991 Oct.

Abstract

A young man with headache was unable to sneeze despite a strong sensory urge to do so. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic neoplasm in the medulla oblongata that presumably interrupted the efferent arc of the sneezing reflex.
