3 Introduction Paragangliomas of the head and neck originate most commonly from the paraganglia within the carotid body, vagal nerve, middle ear, and jugular foramen. Also called glomus tumors, they arise from paraganglion cells of neuroectodermal origin frequently located near nerves and vessels. The function of most paraganglia in the head and neck is obscure; one exception is the carotid body, which is a chemoreceptor. Paragangliomas account for 0.6% of all neoplasms in the head and neck region, and about 80% of all paraganglioms are either carotid body tumors or glomus jugulare tumors. The classic manifestation of a carotid body tumor is a nontender, enlarging lateral neck mass which is mobile, pulsatile, and associated with a bruit. The jugulare and tympanicum tumors commonly cause pulsatile tinnitus and hearing loss and may cause cranial nerve compression. Vagal paraganglioms are the least common and present as a painless neck mass which may result in dysphagia and hoarseness. Presentation material is for education purposes only.

24 Take Home Points!!!!!!! Carotid body paraganglioma and glomus jugulare make up 80% of paragangliomas of the head and neck. MRI classic appearance of paragangliomas is salt and pepper. Salt due to hemorrhage (rare) and pepper due to flow voids. Paragangliomas are hypervascular masses therefore avidly enhancing. Carotid body mass splays the ICA posteriolaterally and the ECA anteromedially at the carotid bifurcation. Glomus vagale displaces the ICA anteromedially and the IJV posterolaterally. Glomus tympanicum classically found at the cochlear promontory arising from Jacobson nerve. Glomus jugulare arises from Jacobson nerve or Arnold nerve within the jugular foramen and not involving the middle ear. Presentation material is for education purposes only.
