RESUMO
CASE REPORT: We present a case of metastatic larynx cancer in the cavernous sinus. It presented itself as a right sixth cranial nerve palsy which progressed into a painful ophthalmoplegia with normal CT and RNM in its early stages. DISCUSSION: We must suspect a cavernous sinus invasion in patients with cranial nerve palsies and with a history of malignancy, despite negative radiologic findings. Tumoral invasion of the skull base has been described in pharyngeal neoplasms but it is exceptional in larynx carcinomas.
