Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Occipital condyle fractures (OCFs) can occasionally be complicated with lower cranial nerve palsies. DISCUSSION: Isolated 9th and 10th cranial nerve palsies following OCF are very rare. To our knowledge, we report the first case of an early onset of 9th and 10th cranial nerve palsies with an early full recovery in short period of time and discuss the probable mechanism of isolated nerve palsy in the light of the relevant literature.Entities:
