Cranial nerve palsies are an unexpected complication of radiotherapy for head and neck tumours. We present a case of this radiation-induced cranial palsy. An 18-year-old female with nasopharyngeal carcinoma developed a right hypoglossal nerve palsy 42 months after cancericidal doses of radiotherapy. In addition, she developed a bilateral vocal cord palsy 62 months after therapy. Follow-up over four years has demonstrated no evidence of tumour recurrence and no sign of neurological improvement.
颅神经麻痹是头颈部肿瘤放疗的一种意外并发症。我们报告一例这种放射性诱导的颅神经麻痹病例。一名18岁的鼻咽癌女性在接受根治性放疗剂量42个月后出现右侧舌下神经麻痹。此外，她在治疗62个月后出现双侧声带麻痹。四年的随访显示没有肿瘤复发的证据，也没有神经功能改善的迹象。
