Case-1
• A 43 years old man, while taking dinner, suddenly developed lancinating pain in the right side of his throat.
• He rushed to the emergency assuming fish bone impaction in throat, but the otolaryngologist found nothing.
• The symptoms recurred a month later, and suddenly collapsed unconscious for a brief period, when he stood up from dinner table.

Case-2
• A 46 years old housewife, noticed a whooshing sound in her left ear when she lays on her left side, over the last few years.
• But for the last few months it has become persistent, in addition to her newly appeared symptoms of difficulty in swallowing and hoarseness of voice.

Case-3
• A 55 years old businessman, with recurrent TIAs, was found to have 90% narrowing of his LICA and underwent left CEA.
• After 2 weeks, He was unable to pull a sweater off over his head along with a constant aching on the left side of his neck and left ear and a dull pain in left shoulder.
• He had weakness with shoulder elevation on his left side and was unable to abduct his left arm above the level of his shoulder.

Case-4
• A 34 years old day labour, experienced a sudden onset of pain in the left side of his neck radiating to his head.
• On the vary next morning pain almost disappeared, but over breakfast he had difficulty moving food around in his mouth, his tongue felt heavy, and his speech was slurred.
• At the hospital, when he was asked to protrude his tongue, it deviated to left. But the taste sensation was intact and a CT head found nothing.
