Abstract:
We report a case of sensory deprivation that occurred as a consequence of progressive head and neck lymphoedema, following combined surgery and radiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma. The management of head and neck lymphoedema is discussed and measures are suggested for improving the sensory deprivation experienced by the worst affected patients.
