Two main theories explain the disease to be due to an interruption in the vascular supply of the brainstem resulting in ischemia in the region of the facial
cranial nerve nuclei owing to an environmental, mechanical, or a genetic cause [3-5] or an embryological developmental defect in the rhombomere segments including the facial
cranial nerve nuclei [6, 7].

Subsequently, he presented with multiple
cranial nerve palsies (from III to X
