Tympanojugular Paraganglioma: A Case Report of an Extensive Left Jugular Paraganglioma
Abstract:
Tympanojugular paragangliomas are rare, highly vascular, and slowly growing tumors that develop from paraganglionic tissue located in the jugular foramen region. We report the case of a 50-year-old female patient presenting with progressive left-sided hearing loss secondary to an extensive jugular paraganglioma. This case highlights the clinical, radiological, and therapeutic aspects of this rare pathology.
