Concomitant sixth and twelfth cranial nerve palsy: The godtfredsen syndrome - A rare combination

Ajay Emani*, Kulshreshtha D, Singh AK, Maurya PK, Qavi A

Godtfredsen syndrome is a rare clinical manifestation of concomitant sixth and twelfth cranial nerve palsies. It was first reported by Eric Godtfredsen in 1946 relating to metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Modern imaging modalities have been able to reveal that clival lesions are most commonly associated with this rare presentation. Our case highlights the importance of identifying this syndrome in an appropriate clinical setting for a prompt diagnosis and management.
