Occipital Condyle Syndrome As the Initial Presentation of Recurrence of Metastatic Breast Cancer: A Case Report

Skull-base metastasis is extremely rare. Various syndromes have been identified based on the anatomical involvement of the metastatic tumor. Occipital condyle syndrome (OCS) occurs with involvement of occipital bone and compression of the hypoglossal canal. OCS is very rare and usually has an underl...

description Skull-base metastasis is extremely rare. Various syndromes have been identified based on the anatomical involvement of the metastatic tumor. Occipital condyle syndrome (OCS) occurs with involvement of occipital bone and compression of the hypoglossal canal. OCS is very rare and usually has an underlying widely disseminated metastatic cancer. We present a 66-year-old female who initially presented with tongue deviation and occipital headache. MRI revealed a mass compressing the occipital bone and hypoglossal canal. Further work-up revealed metastatic breast cancer.
