[Clinical vignette for the medical school student: jugular foramen syndrome].
Cranial neuropathies are frequent and their semiological analysis is the basis of the diagnostic workup. This is even more true in the case of multiple cranial neuropathies. We here propose a diagnostic exercise in the case of a simultaneous cranial nerves IX (glossopharyngeal), X (vagus) and XI (spinal) deficit. This case exemplifies that knowledge of nervous anatomy and physiology is the basis of the semiology of the nervous system.
