Abstract:

We report two patients with Collet Sicard Syndrome due to internal carotid artery dissection. Manifestation of cranial nerve palsies IX to XII was preceded by neck pain and minor trauma in one patient. Compression of the cranial nerves by the expanding vessel diameter close to the base of the skull was documented by MRI. Both patients did not suffer stroke and the local symptoms recovered completely within several months.
