Salivary duct carcinoma presenting with unilateral multiple cranial nerve lesions and concurrent intracranial metastasis: A case report
In clinical practice, in the face of persistent facial palsy symptoms that gradually spread to other cranial nerves, the possibility of secondary facial nerve injury and malignant salivary gland tumors, especially SDC, cannot be easily ruled out even if imaging studies do not reveal any space-occupying intracranial lesions. Through the comprehensive use of imaging, pathology and immunohistochemistry and other diagnostic methods, the early detection and accurate diagnosis of SDC can be achieved, so as to provide the best treatment strategy for patients and improve the prognosis.
