Collet-Sicard syndrome, also known as condylar jugular syndrome, is a constellation of cranial nerve palsies due toneoplastic or non-neoplastic lesions at the jugular foramen1,2.
Frederic Collet first reported the condition in a World War I soldier who presented with a gunshot injury in 1915. Later, new descriptions were added by Jean A Sicard4.
