| Core Tip |
We describe a case of hyperalgesia of the right side of the face and limited abduction of the right eye caused by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) metastasizing to the right cavernous sinus, the right Meckel’s cave, and the right petrous bone diagnosed through neurological findings and imaging studies. Although HCC metastasizing to the cavernous sinus, Meckel’s cave and the petrous bone is rare, clinicians need to be vigilant when the patients show neurological dysfunction, especially cranial nerve involvement. |
