ABSTRACT

El síndrome de Villaret está caracterizado por una serie de alteraciones de la unión craniocervical, con un compromiso específico de los nervios craneales IX, X, XI y XII, así como la cadena simpática cervical. Desde la primera descripción realizada por Maurice Villaret, se han descrito algunos casos, donde la gran mayoría de las lesiones están localizadas en el espacio retrofaringeo o retroparotideo, y usualmente corresponde a tumores, lesiones vasculares o procesos infecciosos. Presentamos el caso de una paciente con un síndrome de Villaret secundario a un paraganglioma cervical.


Villaret's syndrome is a clinical condition characterized by a compromise of the craniocervical junction, with specific involvement of the cranial nerves IX, X, XI and XII as well as the cervical sympathetic chain. Since the first description by Maurice Villaret, some cases have been described, in which the vast majority of the lesions are located in the retropharyngeal or retroparotid space, and usually correspond to tumors, vascular lesions or infectious processes. We present the case of a female patient with Villaret's syndrome secondary to a cervical paraganglioma.
