[Excision of a glomus jugulare tumor after embolization]
Abstract
The authors report the case of a patient with a glomus jugulare tumor. After embolization of the external carotid artery branches feeding the tumor, a complete removal had been performed by a combined otoneurological approach. Although clearly defined and cleavable at the jugulare foramen, the chemodectoma had invasive characteristics in its intrapetrous extension, indicative post operative radiotherapy. In addition a review of publications support preoperative embolization and otoneurosurgical cooperation.
