Abstract
A 37-yr-old developed an early-delayed rhombencephalopathy 7 wk after completing a course of radiotherapy to a glomus jugular tumor. The clinical features, comprising nystagmus, skew strabismus, unilateral facial weakness, dysarthria and ataxia, are compared with 4 previously reported patients with this syndrome.Keywords
