Sindrome de Villaret y paraganglioma cervical: Reporte de caso con consideraciones especiales

Villaret's syndrome is a clinical condition characterized by a compromise of the craniocervical junction, with specific involvement of the cranial nerves IX, X, XI and XII as well as the cervical sympathetic chain. Since the first description by Maurice Villaret, some cases have been described, in which the vast majority of the lesions are located in the retropharyngeal or retroparotid space, and usually correspond to tumors, vascular lesions or infectious processes. We present the case of a female patient with Villaret's syndrome secondary to a cervical paraganglioma.
