In this report we presented a rare case of papillary thyroid carcinoma with neurological deficits as sole manifestation.With the patient’s refusal of craniotomy,stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) was administered to the tumor in the right petrous bone and the patient later pronounced improvement in most neurological abnormalities. The long-standing mass in left side of her neck proved to be goiter cytologically. Once surgical exploration of the thyroid gland was employed, discovery of cancerous tissue in the right lobe led to further imaging with radioactive iodine. A 131I whole body scintigraphy divulged metastatic thyroid tissue in the base of skull and differentiated intracranial metastatic thyroid carcinoma
from neurogenic tumors.
