Contribuição ao conhecimento das paralisias periféricas, múltiplas, uni-laterais, dos nervos craneanos (Síndrome de Villaret)

The author describes at length a clinical observation of this rare syndrome of the lesions of the peripheric nervous trunks of the cranial nerves. In the clinical history of the patient, the author verified a pulmonary mycosis by Neogeotrichum pulmoneum and stomack ulcer, both having been cured. The present nervous syndrome was of traumatic origin, by a fire-arm, the bullet having penetrated the retro-parotidian space, wounding with more or less intensity the glossopharyngeal, vagus, spinal, hypoglossal and the cervical sympathetic nerves, all of the left. Besides the nervous syndrome, the patient suffered an aneurism of the primitive carotid artery which was tied.
