Tympanic paraganglioma: two cases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Paragangliomas originate from glomus bodies which are non-working temporal bone chemoreceptors, derived from neuroectodermal cells of the neural crest. Tympanic paragangliomas have pulsatile tinnitus as its most frequent symptom, followed by conductive hearing loss, otalgia and ear fullness. Some patients may present vertigo and otorhagia. Our goal is to present two cases of tympanic paragangliomas aiming at discussing the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of such disorder.
