Trotter's syndrome is a cluster of symptoms associated with certain types of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The cause of pain is the mandibular nerve of the foramen ovale, through which the tumor enters the calvarium.[1] Symptoms include the following:[2]
- Unilateral conductive deafness due to middle ear effusion
- Trigeminal neuralgia due to perineural spread
- Soft palate immobility
- Difficulty opening mouth
