Godtfredsen syndrome is a rare clinical manifestation of concomitant
sixth and twelfth cranial nerve palsies. It was first reported by
Eric Godtfredsen in 1946 relating to metastatic nasopharyngeal
carcinoma. Modern imaging modalities have been able to reveal
that clival lesions are most commonly associated with this rare
presentation. Our case highlights the importance of identifying this
syndrome in an appropriate clinical setting for a prompt diagnosis
and management.
