Our experience with surgical treatment of tympanojugular pragangliomas

Original language description

Tympanojugular paragangliomas are benign and slow growing lesions of the lateral skull base. Due to their localization and vascularity, they represent a surgical challenge. We present experience with surgical treatment of 16 patients with large tympanojugular paragangliomas (Fisch B, C and D) in the period of 10 years. Surgical radicality has been achieved in 62.5%, in the rest of patients the tumour remnants were either irradiated with a Leksell gamma knife, or left without treatment in a wait-end-rescan approach. According to the benign character of the tumour, radicality is not always the highest goal, since a radical removal may be compromised by a high postoperative morbidity (mainly due to lesions of lower cranial nerves).
