Management strategies of glomus jugular tumor Presenting

چکیده
Learning Objectives: Facial nerve management in the surgery Internal carotid artery management in the surgery Intracranial vascular bypass As for the most challenging surgery of the lateral skull base, glomus jugular tumor resection is now safely controlled and managed. In this study we focused on the the strategies of facial nerve and internal carotid artery management during glomus jugular tumor surgery, especially for the C and D stage tumor in which the internal carotid artery was severely involved and could not be easily seperated. Furthermore we tried the extra-intracranial vascular bypass when the internal carotid artery could not be saved in the surgery, by which the mortality and intracranial complications were greatly reduced.

Glomus Jugulare Presenting with Isolated Facial Nerve Palsy
Glomus jugulare is a rare slow growing tumor occurring within the jugular foramen that rarely presents with isolated symptoms. Although histologically benign, these tumors are locally destructive because of their proximity to the petrous bone, the lower cranial nerves, and the major vascular structures (Miller et al. (2009) and Silverstone (1973)). We wish to report a glomus jugulare tumor erod...
متن کاملGlomus jugulare tumors: historical overview of the management of this disease.
The treatment of glomus jugulare tumors presents the surgeon with a significant management problem. Because the neoplasm originates in the region of the jugular bulb, it frequently involves the lower cranial nerves, with occasional extension into the posterior fossa. Despite extensive work on the development of surgical and radiation treatment strategies, considerable controversy still exists r...
متن کاملMetastatic Thy roid Carcinoma of Jugular Fo ra m e n Simulating Glomus Jugulare Tumor : A Case Re
volving the jugular foramen is rare. It shows usually hypovascular lytic bony destruction of the jugular foramen (1). Hypervascular metastases such as those from renal and thyroid carcinoma may produce destructive vascular lesions similar to paragangliomas (2). The authors report a case of hypervascular metastasis from thyroid carcinoma in the jugular foramen simulating glomus jugulare tumor.
متن کاملTracheal Glomus Tumor: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Glomus tumors are rare neoplasms that typically occur within the dermis or subcutis of the subungual space. Primary glomus tumors of the thorax are exceedingly uncommon, thus standard-of-care management is lacking. In this report we describe the management of a patient presenting with a symptomatic glomus tumor of the posterior trachea, and provide a comprehensive review including all documente...
متن کاملBilateral glomus tumor treated with PET-CT based conformal radiotherapy: a case report
INTRODUCTION Glomus tumors are benign, slow growing tumors originating from paraganglionic tissue, mostly located at the carotid bifurcation, jugular foramen, cervical portion vagus nerve, and middle ear cavity. Radiotherapy is treatment of choice for patients with intracranial extension, and patients with bilateral and multiple tumors, or patients who are inoperable. CASE PRESENTATION We pre...
