A Case of Vernet Syndrome Associated With Internal Jugular Phlebectasia

Abstract: A 36-year-old woman presented with right shoulder weakness after a left parotid tumor resection. The overall clinical presentation included severe paralysis and atrophy of the right sternocleidomastoid and upper trapezius, an absent right gag reflex, and diminished right posterior tongue pinprick sensation. A diagnosis of right-sided Vernet syndrome (cranial nerve IX, X, XI lesions) was made, presumably from compression of cranial nerves by internal jugular vein phlebectasia. To our knowledge, this is the firs… Show more

“…The formulation of the dipole moment is given by where q and R are charges and position vectors, respectively. A dipole moment occurs between two polarized atoms, especially in a covalent bond or an ionic bond. , By definition, dipole moments are represented by the charge separation between atom pairs (dipoles) in a molecule. The atom-only representations did not play a key role in the case of predicting μ in our experiments, which is consistent with the formulation.…”

“…It is mainly treated conservatively because the disease is not progressive and complications are rare. In adults, complications, such as neck pain and Vernet syndrome, have been reported in isolated cases. Surgery (ligation of the affected segment) is controversial and currently is only indicated for symptomatic cases and to improve cosmesis.…”

“…Internal structures running through the foramen can also enlarge to cause obstruction. The internal jugular vein has been reported to cause Vernet’s syndrome when dilated to 288 mm 2 [ 30 ]. Schwannomas of CN IX, X, or XI represent 3–4% of all intracranial schwannomas and can produce classical Vernet’s syndrome symptoms; their extension into the inner ear and/or compression of the cerebellum can also cause tinnitus, deafness, vertigo, and ataxia [ 26 , 29 ].…”
