ABSTRACT
Any process that affects the intracranial region may lead to lesions in more than one cranial nerve. In some conditions, a group of nerves can be affected in a specific anatomical region or following some anatomical pattern. Throughout the years, many studies showed patterns of lesions, and the discoverers entitled these patterns with their own names. These syndromes usually develop gradually and their clinical presentation may be complex, which explains their late diagnosis not being infrequent.
