Prognostic Impact of Magnetic Resonance Imaging-detected Cranial Nerve Involvement in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.

The article discusses the prognostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-detected cranial nerve (CN) involvement in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). According to the study, the incidence of patients with MRI-detected CN involvement was higher than CN palsy. Moreover, MRI-detected CN involvement has change on the prognosis independent of lesion localization and symptoms.
