Recurrent multiple cranial neuropathies
Abstract
A report of 12 patients with recurrent multiple cranial neuropathy is presented. In most cases the palsies a accompanied a mild respiratory infection. Both motor and sensory cranial nerves were affected, the facial nerve and optic nerve being the most common. The symptoms were self-limited in course and steroid therapy seemed to hasten the recovery in the cases it was used. Only in a few cases a noticeable neurological deficiency remained. Aetiological aspects of the syndrome are discussed.
