Abstract
Cephalic tetanus is the most serious form of localized tetanus. It associates trismus with impairment of one or more cranial nerves. It was a rare condition, whose diagnosis can raise several problems. A 49-year-old-man presented multiple and unilateral cranial nerve involvement revealing cephalic tetanus. This case illustrates the importance of considering cephalic tetanus when patients present cranial nerve palsy associated with injury.
