“…It is typically due to prostate and breast metastasis to the skull base. Up to now only 5 cases of colo-rectal skullbase metastases have been reported in the literature [2,3], but only one OCS with primary rectal origin [3]. The present case is the second reported in the literature.…”

Skull-base metastases are very unfrequent. Occipital condyle syndrome (OCS) is usually underdiagnosed. Until now few cases have been reported in the literature. We present a 71-year-old woman with metastatic rectum adenocarcinoma, with right occipital headache and ipsilateral hypoglossal palsy, diagnosed by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of OCS due to a skull-base metastasis and treated with radiation therapy.

“…Greenberg et al 4 described cranial dysfunction syndromes caused by skull base metastases. These include Collet-Siccard syndrome, 5 which is a palsy of the lower four cranial nerves; Villaret syndrome, 6 which is a palsy of the lower four cranial nerves with ipsilateral Horner syndrome; Occipital condyle syndrome, 7 which consists of unilateral occipital pain with ipsilateral 12 th nerve paresis; Jugular foramen syndrome 8 with dysphagia and neck pain; Parasellar syndrome 9 with extra ocular palsy and isolated 3rd, 6th or 7th cranial nerve palsies.…”

A 54 year old female on evaluation of dysarthria was found to have left IX, X and XII cranial nerve palsy. General physical examination revealed bilateral cervical level V multiple lymph nodes which were firm to hard and non-tender; respiratory system examination suggested left sided mild pleural effusion. MRI brain and cervical spine did not show any evidence of meningeal enhancement or skull base metastasis. Bronchoscopy revealed a mass lesion in left main bronchus. Her cranial nerve symptoms were attributed to Collet-Sicard syndrome because of the lymph node metastasis from lung cancer. It is a rare case of Collet-Sicard syndrome resulting from lymph node metastasis of adenocarcinoma of lung and is important as a differential diagnosis of lower cranial nerve palsy.

Cranial nerve palsies secondary to skull base metastases represent an uncommon presentation of advanced bronchogenic carcinoma.…”

Skull base metastases though a rare entity, is a known end stage presentation of Bronchogenic carcinoma. Skull base metastases can present as various cranial dysfunction syndromes, namely: Collet-Siccard syndrome, Villaret syndrome, Occipital condyle syndrome, Jugular foramen syndrome, and Parasellar syndrome. Skull base metastases need to be differentiated from Primary Temporal Bone malignancy. We in this article present a case report of Skull base metastases from Bronchogenic carcinoma with associated metastases to external auditory canal and upper cervical lymph nodes; hitherto unreported association.
