Abstract

The ideal management of most paragangliomas is complete surgical excision. Because of technical advances, issues of resectability have given way to issues of functional outcome and postsurgical quality of life. This article reviews the surgical strategy for craniocervical paragangliomas. Intracranial extension, defect reconstruction, and cranial nerve rehabilitation are addressed.
