title: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma presenting as Gradenigo's syndrome.
abstract: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma usually has an insidious onset and non-specific features in the initial stages. This makes early diagnosis difficult. The most usual presenting features are cervical lymphadenopathy, otological symptoms (serous otitis media) and involvement of adjacent cranial nerves. We report a case of Gradenigo's syndrome in a patient of undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
