[Idiopathic associated paralysis of the Xth and XIIth cranial nerves]

We are putting forward a case of associated laryngeal paralysis placed among the paralyses of the lateral pharyngeal area. Due to the association of the Xth and XIIth cranial nerves we could consider it within the labelled as Tapia's syndrome. Nevertheless, the presumable viral etiology of the case makes such classification entitled to discussion, because only are accepted as etiopathogenetic noxes both the traumatisms and tumours.
