Multiple Cranial Nerve

Rhinocerebral mucormycosis, a highly lethal fungal infection of the head and neck, is commonly recognized by its classic appearance. Two cases of this newly recognized clinical syndrome with isolated unilateral peripheral cranial nerve V, VI, VII, IX, X, XI, and XII palsies and initial sparing of the eighth cranial nerve are presented. Examination revealed that each patient had ulceration of the nasopharynx and osteitis of the base of the skull. Nose, orbits, paranasal sinuses, and intracranial nervous systems were initially spared. The cause of this obscure cranial nerve paralysis was diagnosed from biopsy specimens of the nasopharyngeal tissues and the demonstration of nonseptate hyphae. Review of the literature did not indicate that this syndrome had previously been recognized. The name nasopharyngeal mucormycotic osteitis is suggested.

Composite Study

A study of patients from a largely rural area in Iowa corroborates the evidence of many previous studies that bulbar and bulbospinal types of poliomyelitis occur more commonly in persons whose tonsils have been removed irrespective of the time in life the operation was performed. The tonsillectomy rate for all cases was the lowest encountered thus far. Agreement is not on the same level as noted in the author's Detroit composite study previously reported, and is more marked for bulbospinal than for the bulbar type of poliomyelitis (some studies combine bulbar and bulbospinal cases). Adjustment for age reduces differences between cases with tonsils absent and tonsils present by clinical type and further strengthens the finding of Paffenbarger and of the author's Detroit composite study that age must be reckoned with in an assessment of the problem. Incidence of paralyses of cranial nerves by tonsillectomy status is similar to the Detroit composite study in the case of palatal and pharyngeal paralyses but less strongly; incidence of paralysis of the facial nerve is dissimilar.
