Article Synopsis
- Gradenigo's Syndrome is a rare complication of ear infections, often showing symptoms like double vision and facial pain, but its incidence has dropped due to antibiotic use.
- An elderly patient with T-cell lymphoma exhibited symptoms resembling Gradenigo's, but was ultimately diagnosed with invasive sinus aspergillosis after a challenging diagnostic process.
- The prognosis for cases like this is very poor without surgical intervention, as demonstrated by this patient's death despite antifungal treatment, highlighting the need for doctors to be vigilant, especially in older patients.

Vaccine-associated hypermetabolic lymphadenopathy (VAHL) has been reported as a common post-vaccination side effect, especially with mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines. Most VAHL cases present normal or enlarged regional lymph nodes close to the injection site, usually with mild-moderate FDG (18 F-Fluorodeoxyglucose) uptake on FDG positron emission tomography (PET)/CT. Here, we describe the case of a 33-year-old woman with past history of Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma (CHL) who underwent follow-up FDG PET/CT 3 days (d) after the first dose of the adenovirus-vectored Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
