title: [Multiple and recurrent paralysis of cranial nerves: primary Gougerot-Sjögren syndrome].
abstract: Over a period of 10 years, a 49-year-old man had 3 episodes of recurrent cranial nerve palsy regressing within a few weeks. Each episode was accompanied with acute inaugural headache and diplopia and once with sensory impairment of the trigeminal nerf and once with tinnitus. The diagnosis of Goujerot-Sjögren's syndrome was retained after demonstration of hypergammaglobulinaemia, a positive Rose Bengale test and histological examination of biopsy specimens from the accessory salivary glands which revealed advanced typical lesions. Clinically, impaired secretion was not obvious.
