The complications of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma include dryness of mouth, sensorineural hearing loss, dental caries, trismus, pituitary dysfunction, myelitis, paralysis of cranial nerves IX-XII, massive neck fibrosis and pharyngeal wall necrosis. Tornwaldt's cyst formation after concurrent chemoradiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma has not been reported previously in the world literature. Tornwaldt's cyst, a persistent pharyngeal bursa, is found in about 3 per cent of the adult population, although the majority of these are asymptomatic. We describe the previously unreported complication of Tornwaldt's cyst formation after concurrent chemoradiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
鼻咽癌同步放化疗的并发症包括口干、感音神经性听力损失、龋齿、牙关紧闭、垂体功能障碍、脊髓炎、Ⅸ - Ⅻ颅神经麻痹、颈部广泛纤维化和咽壁坏死。世界文献中此前尚未报道过鼻咽癌同步放化疗后托伦瓦尔德特囊肿（Tornwaldt囊肿）的形成。托伦瓦尔德特囊肿是一种持续存在的咽囊，在约3%的成年人群中可发现，不过其中大多数无症状。我们描述了鼻咽癌同步放化疗后托伦瓦尔德特囊肿形成这一此前未报道过的并发症。
