Abstract

A 63-year-old man presented to our otorhinolaryngology department with hoarseness and neck pain of 3 weeks' duration. After a thorough workup, we established a diagnosis of Tapia syndrome secondary to a vertebral artery dissection. We review the literature and discuss the clinical presentation of this rare syndrome.
