Trotter's syndrome Can be easily confused with temporomandibular disorder as related to advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma and is associated with the following:
- Unilateral conductive deafness due to middle ear effusion
- Trigeminal neuralgia due to perineural spread
- Soft palate immobility
- Difficulty opening mouth
Diagnoses of this syndrome are currently on the rise due to increased use of bisphosphonates.
Famous quotes containing the word syndrome:
“Women are taught that their main goal in life is to serve others—first men, and later, children. This prescription leads to enormous problems, for it is supposed to be carried out as if women did not have needs of their own, as if one could serve others without simultaneously attending to one’s own interests and desires. Carried to its “perfection,” it produces the martyr syndrome or the smothering wife and mother.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
